The Boston Whistlers defeated the Phoenix Gladiators by the score of 6-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Tim Lotz. Lotz went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Whistlers on the day. Blake Bryant collected his 32nd save. The Whistlers, at 68-52, have a comfortable 15-game lead in their division.

In the bottom of the 4th, Boston took the lead on a 2-run home run by Jeff Beeson. At the time, the Whistlers were trailing 2-1, but Beeson's hit with two outs against Phoenix pitcher Mike Walsh put them in front, 3-2.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Lotz.
