Whales Upend Krewe, 9-3
The Virginia Beach Whales topped the Crescent City Krewe, 9-3, with youngster Jim Willis playing a key role. Willis was 2-3 with a triple, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Whales in the win. The winning pitcher was Shawn Walker. He tossed 112 pitches over 7.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 9 hits. With the win, the Whales have a record of 13-12.

Virginia Beach used the bat of Jon Melanson to get the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Whales ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

In postgame remarks, Willis said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."
