Twin Cities Stopped, 6-5, by Seattle
The Seattle Emeralds cut down the Twin Cities Northmen by the score of 6-5, with the largest share of the credit going to pinch hitter Paul Parkyn. Parkyn was 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Emeralds. The winning pitcher was Paul Geary. His record now stands at 8-9. The right-hander went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits for the Emeralds. Seattle has now won 3 in a row.

Parkyn had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a first pitch changeup from Syed Farooqi, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Emeralds a 6-3 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Parkyn.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Seattle manager Mark Velez.
