Whales Clip Athletic Club KC Academy, 3-2
The Virginia Beach Whales scored a tight 3-2 win versus the Athletic Club KC Academy at Virginia Beach Grounds. Virginia Beach pitcher Jeff Vázquez held his own in the contest. Hidetada Inagaki earned his 1st save in 2 tries. Virginia Beach has a 3-game win streak, while Athletic Club KC Academy has lost 3 in a row.

The Athletic Club KC Academy had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Whales going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old center fielder Terry Valdéz came to the plate. Valdéz hit a 2-run home run on a 0-1 cutter from Athletic Club KC Academy hurler Bruce Viera. It was Valdéz's 11th home run of the year.

"It's a mindset," said Vázquez. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
