Late Magic Gets Virginia Beach 1-0 Win
The Virginia Beach Whales picked up a win at Thunder Hawks Ballpark, knocking off the Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks, 1-0. Starting pitcher John Parker played a key role in the triumph. With the win, the Whales improved to 39-30.

Virginia Beach used the timely hitting of Alonso Gómez to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Whales on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I've been criticized for being a slacker, but the one thing I do care about is winning," Gómez told the Virginia Beach Daily.
