The Chargers fell just short of the Marina Vikings by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday. The Chargers have struggled against the Vikings recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.

On the hitting side, Edison saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kaila Arakaki, who went 1-for-4 with one triple and one run.
Edison's defeat dropped their record down to 14-10. As for Marina, they are on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-6 record this season.
