Fighting Imps Prevail, 5-4, Over Virginia Beach
The Ithaca Fighting Imps picked up a win at Virginia Beach Grounds, knocking off the Virginia Beach Whales, 5-4. Starting pitcher Greg O'Day played a key role in the triumph. In 8 innings, O'Day surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. Jimmy Whitney locked down his 1st save.

Ithaca used the bat of J.J. Holmes to get the win. The third baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Fighting Imps ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Holmes told a Ithaca News reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."

Today's win puts Ithaca at 16-27, while Virginia Beach falls to 23-20.
