Sheppard Excels, But Whales Win
The Virginia Beach Whales outlasted Joshua Sheppard and the Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks, 11-9. Sheppard was impressive in the loss. The Ft. Polk South third baseman hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 6. José Hernández closed it out for his 6th save. The third-place Whales have won 5 straight games.

Virginia Beach used a well-timed hit by Winston Clark to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Whales ahead, 6-4. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Virginia Beach manager Domingo García.
