Whistlers Win 3-2 Nail-Biter Versus 23ers
In a low-scoring contest between the Boston Whistlers and the Fountain Hills 23ers, Josh Cowels was the X factor. The Boston right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Boston is 50-38 and Fountain Hills, with the loss, 36-52.

The decisive blow was delivered by Carlos Herrera in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 25-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Woolverton to win the game for Boston. The home crowd went nuts.

During his postgame press conference, Whistlers manager Mike Plocher told reporters that he expected a tight game from the get-go. "This had the potential to go down to the wire, and it certainly didn't disappoint," he said, later quipping, "it might've been a little less nerve-racking if I had been watching the game from my couch!"
