Rainbow Mermaids Knock Off Patriots, 4-2
The MSL Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids picked up a win at MSL Boston Ballpark, taking down the MSL Boston Patriots, 4-2. Starting pitcher Mario Espinosa was a big reason why. In 7.1 innings, Espinosa surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. Ray Berard earned his 15th save, after closing out the game.

MSL Northern Virginia used a well-timed hit by José Ventura to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Rainbow Mermaids ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

Ventura said his team "played with focus."

The Rainbow Mermaids sit in second place in the PL MSL with a record of 27-18.
