Fighting Imps Edge Past Whales, 2-1
Imps Park was the site of a remarkable pitchers' duel.

Virginia Beach got a big-time effort from pitcher Dave Jeffries, but it wasn't enough to keep the Ithaca Fighting Imps from winning the game, 2-1. Jeffries threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. The winner was Ángel Hernández in relief. His record improves to 3-1. Hidetada Inagaki took the loss.

In the bottom of the 13th, Bob Fox had a chance to deal the knockout blow. And he did, punching a run-scoring walk to center off Virginia Beach pitcher Hidetada Inagaki.

"We'll enjoy this win for now, but it's just one," Fox told local reporters. "We've got to keep it going."

Ithaca has now won 7 straight, while the Whales have lost 3 in a row.
