Boston Whistlers starter Antonio Higuera pitched a strong game against the Chicago Gangsters at Whislters Park, leading the Whistlers to victory, 5-3. Blake Bryant, who finished 2nd in the AC in saves with 37 last year, nailed down the save. Boston improves to 94-68 with the win. They lead their division by 15 games.

Matt Schmid had a big 2-run home run for the Whistlers in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Boston leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a forkball from 30-year old left-handed pitcher Josh Wilkes and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Whistlers on top, 4-1.

Schmid told a Boston Daily reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
