Mangione goes 3-for-5 in Rocketeers Win
Behind the hitting of Luigi Mangione, the Seattle Rocketeers stopped the Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids, 7-5. Mangione went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Rocketeers. Seattle reliever Fred Rucker picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Tim Strong was tagged with the loss. David Arnold closed the door for Seattle, picking up his 2nd save of the year.

Mangione had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a first pitch fastball from Juan Carlos Mejía, he banged a grand slam home run to right, giving the Rocketeers a 7-5 lead. It was the 12th home run of the year for Mangione.

Mangione said he was "thrilled" the fans had something to get excited about.

Seattle bumps their record to 29-31 with the win.
