Seattle Sluggers Bunt Past San Jose Hackers
In a night of incredibly tight matches, the Seattle Sluggers pulled off a final inning squeeze play over the San Jose Hackers. The match finished with a 8.5 - 7.5 score that is very disappointing to San Jose as they had a chance to break into the top four. Seattle stays in 6th place still one match point behind San Jose.
For the Sluggers, GM Hikaru Nakamura showed why he is one of the best in the world with a dominant 3.5/4 performance. Despite the loss, GM Zviad Izoria kept the Hackers close with an unbeaten 3/4 performance holding Naka to his only draw.
Either way, let's see why it is so painful for the Hackers:
