Austin Defeated By Whistlers, 5-4
The Boston Whistlers picked up a win at Whislters Park, knocking off the Austin Desperados, 5-4. On the mound for Boston was right-hander Antonio Higuera. He played a key role in the triumph. Higuera got the win, improving to 8-8. He gave up 8 hits and walked 1 over 6.2 innings. He allowed 4 runs. Boston has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

The Desperados had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Whistlers going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 28-year old catcher Orlando Contreras came to the plate. Contreras hit a 3-run home run on a full count fastball from Austin hurler Luke Scrimger. It was Contreras's 6th home run of the year.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Contreras.
