Tampa Bay Loss Spoils Terrific Game by Schalow
The Boston Whistlers had to overcome a big game from Tampa Bay designated hitter Hunter Schalow to leave Whislters Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-6. Schalow went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Boston reliever Jeremy Carter picked up the win to move to 1-0. Mike Weatherby suffered the loss. Boston is now 47-34, 11 games up in the American Conference Central Division.

Willie Kirkham had a big 2-run home run for the Whistlers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Boston trailing 5-4 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a cutter from 28-year old left-handed pitcher Brian Finkel and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Whistlers on top, 6-5.

"It never gets old," said Kirkham. "Winning, that is."
