Scorpions Set to Sting Seattle Sluggers

The Arizona Scorpions are going for their third win of the Season tonight when they play Seattle on ICC. Hikaru Nakamura will be on board 1 for Seattle and as always will be a formidable opponent! Rogelio Barcenilla will need to pull out all the stops to keep up with him. I'm hoping for a draw here.


On board 2 the Scorpion's Mark Ginsburgh faces Slava Mikhaliuk who is playing White pieces. Slava has been playing well and should give Mark a tough match, so again I see this match ending in a draw.


On board 3 the Scorpion's young Danny Rensch faces the even younger Michael Lee in what should be an exciting match with a few surprises from both sides. This may be the key game that decides if the Scorpions take home a win or just a draw for the match. I predict Danny Wins in an unusual way.


Finally, on board 4 the Scorpion's manager, Leo Martinez, joins in the fun and plays against the Slugger's Joshua Sinanan who is making his premiere appearance of the 2009 season. I expect to see a difficult, maybe positional, battle here with Leo persevering and coming out the winner.


Scorpion's win: 3-1
