Whales Handle Thunder Hawks, 7-2
Virginia Beach rode a decent outing from starter George Butler to victory over the Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks. The final score was 7-2. Butler went 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 4, and struck out 7. His record improves to 5-2. Their 42-41 record puts the Whales 6th in the Premier AA.

The Whales got an important contribution from designated hitter António López, who in the bottom of the first hit a first pitch curveball into right for a 2-run double. It was his 2nd double of the season and put the Whales ahead, 3-0.

"I like winning," López told the Virginia Beach Citizen. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
