Crouch Steals Spotlight, But Last Laugh Belongs to Boston
The Chicago Gangsters got a superb performance from catcher Kevin Crouch, but the Boston Whistlers still won the game, 7-6. Crouch went 4-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Joe Schroeder was the winner. Over 7.1 innings, he yielded 6 runs on 9 hits, with 3 walks and 8 strikeouts. John Salgado closed the door for Boston, picking up his 4th save of the year.

Boston catcher Orlando Contreras contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 30th hit of the season and put the Whistlers ahead, 5-3.

"We took home the win," said Contreras. "What's not to like?"

Boston, at 87-70, is 21 games up in the American Conference Central Division.
