Whistlers Drop Giants, 6-1
Whistlers first baseman Carlos Herrera left his imprint on his team's 6-1 win over the Detroit Giants. Herrera was 3-4 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 3 times for Boston in the contest. Kory Tourville closed it out for Boston, earning his 4th save. The first-place Whistlers, at 51-39, lead the American Conference Central Division by 12 games.

Boston first baseman Austin Alpers contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a slider to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 78th hit of the season and put the Whistlers ahead, 3-1.

"I think every team will tell you that the pitching sets the tone, especially the starters," said Boston skipper Mike Plocher.
