Whistlers Pull Out Late-Game Win, 3-2
The Boston Whistlers topped the Fountain Hills 23ers, 3-2, in 10 innings at Whislters Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Boston pitcher Matthew Rowlands. Boston reliever Blake Bryant snagged the win, upping his record to 2-2. Scott Lewis shouldered the loss. The American Conference Central Division-leading Whistlers have a record of 51-38.

Boston got a clutch hit from Evan Stowe. The third baseman socked a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was game-ender.

Boston manager Mike Plocher praised his team's "businesslike approach."
