Whistlers Snag 3-1 Win
Starting pitcher Nate Benson gave the Boston Whistlers a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the Mexico City Aztecs, 3-1, at Gran Estadio Azteca. Blake Bryant closed it out for Boston, earning his 20th save. Their 59-46 record puts the Whistlers first in the American Conference Central Division.

The result might have been different, had it not been for former first round draft pick Oliver Damon. Damon had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Whistlers ahead, 3-1. For the game, Damon had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We put together a nice win," Damon said.
