Athletic Club KC Academy Down Whales, 4-1
Virginia Beach Grounds was the site for USPL Double A action featuring the Virginia Beach Whales and Athletic Club KC Academy.

The Athletic Club KC Academy beat the Virginia Beach Whales, 4-1, at Virginia Beach Grounds. Starting pitcher Tong-kyu Ko was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Ko picked up the win for Athletic Club KC Academy, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 8-3. José Salinas got the save, the 7th for him this season.

Isaaka Kaikala, the 22-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Kaikala contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the second inning to put Athletic Club KC Academy up, 2-0.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Kaikala said (again).

The Whales, at 35-54, have lost 5 in a row.
