Invaders Defeat Whistlers, 5-3
The Oakland Invaders faced a tough opponent in Boston pitcher Antonio Higuera, but found a way to pull out the victory at Whislters Park by a final score of 5-3 in 11 innings. Higuera went 8 innings and allowed 3 runs. Steve Bueno earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 6-2. Oakland has now won 3 in a row.

Jim Henkemeyer came through with a big-time hit for Oakland. The shortstop smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"This game showed the grit and grind of our guys," said Henkemeyer.
