Whistlers Drop Gangsters, 6-5
Boston picked up a win at The Hideout, bumping off the Chicago Gangsters, 6-5. Pitcher Josh Cowels was a major reason the Whistlers emerged victorious. Kory Tourville claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 3 runs on 4 hits in 3 innings. His record stands at 5-0. The Gangsters fall to 11-17.

Boston used a clutch hit from Ben King to get the win. The left fielder drilled a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Whistlers ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

"This was one of those 'not to be denied' games," said Boston field general Mike Plocher.
