Whistlers Need Extra Frames to Get Past Reapers
Runs were plentiful at Reedy River Stadium.

Willie Kirkham was instrumental in his team's 13-10, extra-inning triumph over the Carolina Reapers. The right fielder went 2 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 3 walks. He scored 3 runs for the Boston Whistlers. Boston is now 28-29, 7½ games up in the American Conference Central Division.

Boston used a timely hit from Brian Brockman to get the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the 17th inning to put the Whistlers ahead, 12-10. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

In postgame comments, Kirkham said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."
