After a slow start, trailing 0-2 going into the 4th after Eastlake sole base hit of the game, Max Hibbert's 2 run home run with two outs in the 4th marked the turning point and a 5-run 5th inning, capped by William Mansfield's mammoth 2-run home run (over the SECOND fence), put MI over the top.  Keegan Ogard relieved Mansfield in the 6th and needed just 13 pitches to keep Eastlake's powerful lineup at bay close out the win with a strikeout and two groundouts to 3rd.  Hibbert, Mansfield and Michael Bantle all had two hits in the game for MI; Hibbert had an RBI double in the 5th and then scored on a Bantle single, who scored from 2nd on an RBI single by Nick Taylor for MI's final run. 

The Islanders play next in the winner's bracket final on Saturday at 9am vs. Sammamish National, who beat Kirkland National 5-3 on Wednesday in the other semi-final game.
