Whales Come Back Late to Clip Blimps
The Akron Blimps got a superb performance from pitcher Shoichi Iwata. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Virginia Beach. The Whales won the game, 6-4. In spite of the loss, Iwata was named the player of the game. He threw 6 innings of 5-hit ball. Virginia Beach reliever Patrick Le Gall picked up the win, upping his record to 6-1. Kenny McFadden absorbed the loss. The save was credited to Eliseo Fontirroig, his 9th.

Virginia Beach used the timely hitting of Neung-uk Yi to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Whales on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like the roll we're on right now," said Yi after the game.

The winning continues for Virginia Beach, with the latest making it 8 straight.
