Whistlers Beat Fire, 3-1
In a tight tilt between the Boston Whistlers and the San Francisco Fire, Josh Cowels was the deciding factor. The Boston right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. The winner was Cowels. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 1 run. The loser was Miguel Benitez. The Fire fall to 13-17 and continue their sputtering start to the 2021 season.

Had Gene Cheatham not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Cheatham hit a 2-run single. That made the score 3-1, in favor of the Whistlers.

Cheatham said his team "played with determination."
