Guinea Pigs Suffer 4-3 Setback
Virginia Beach beat Gwinnett at Experimental Stadium, eking out a 4-3 win. The win was due in large part to first baseman Jesús Fernández. He went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2. Virginia Beach starter Shawn Walker was credited with the win after throwing 110 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 7-9. Bill Turner nailed down his 6th save.

The game hit a turning point in the top of the third inning, when the Whales were trailing 1-0. Damon Joseph delivered a two-out 2-run home run for Virginia Beach, catapulting his team into the lead.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Joseph told the Virginia Beach Citizen.

The 6th-place Whales are 52-49.
