Whistlers Win with Late Rally
The Boston Whistlers turned back the Tampa Bay Captains, 9-8, at Whislters Park. Carlos Herrera, in particular, had a fine performance. He went 3 for 6 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The Captains fall to 10-14 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2026 season.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the 13th. With Boston trailing 8-7, Brian Brockman hit a fastball from Carlos Barraza to right-center for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Whistlers had a walk-off win.

"It's great when the crowd goes berserk," Brockman said.
