Long Island Topples Whitby, 7-6
The Long Island Torpedoes did just enough to sneak past the Whitby Bats, 7-6, at Centerville Grounds. Long Island pitcher Doug Watson, in particular, had a standout performance. Long Island reliever Jordan Garcia was the winner. His record is now 4-5. The losing pitcher was Marc Istre. The Torpedoes go to 54-74, putting them 4th in the Northern Conference East Division.

Had Kevin McDowell not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, McDowell hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Torpedoes.

"We found a way to get it done," Watson said.
