Whistlers Score Late to Upend Gladiators, 7-1
Phoenix wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Johnny Keener, falling to the Boston Whistlers, 7-1. Keener threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Boston reliever Matthew Rowlands picked up the win. Manny Brant, who is tied for 2nd in the AC in holds with 9, took the loss for Phoenix. The 'W' lifts Boston's record to 74-53.

Boston used a timely hit from Evan Stowe to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Whistlers ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Stowe said his team "executed a good game plan."
