King, Whistlers Serve Up 8-6 Win
Ben King impressed in the 8-6 Boston win over Fountain Hills. King slugged 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Blake Bryant closed the door for Boston, picking up his 2nd save of the year. The loss puts Fountain Hills at 5-4.

Boston used the bat of A.J. Cook to get the win. The left fielder hit a knuckle curve from Curtis Gring out of the park for a 3-run home run. The blast came in the top of the first inning and put the Whistlers on top, 4-0. It was Cook's lone hit, but it left a mark.

"We ground out the win," said King. "That's all that matters."
