Whales Prevail, 4-3, Over Irving
The Virginia Beach Whales grabbed a 4-3 win over the Irving Blue Sox at Blue Sox Ballpark. Virginia Beach designated hitter Christian Patriarche went 2-4 with a home run to earn player of the game honors. Virginia Beach reliever Brian Buff picked up the win to move to 1-0. Harris Hopkins suffered the loss. Virginia Beach goes to 26-25, Irving to 30-21.

Virginia Beach used the timely hitting of Scott French to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Whales on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll savor this win," French told the Virginia Beach Bulletin, "then get ready for the next game."
