Hawks Sunk by Emeralds
In the 6-4 Seattle win over Chicago, the impact of Floriano Venegas was substantial. Venegas, who is rated as the 40th best prospect by BNN, went 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. Seattle pitcher Denny Goldberg got the win, upping his record to 3-6. Ken Eldridge got the loss. Carroll Reynolds notched his 3rd save of the season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Gary Patterson? The Seattle second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Emeralds on top, 4-2. For the game, Patterson had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Patterson told a Seattle News reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."

Seattle is 20-27 and Chicago, with the loss, 20-26.
