Oakland Absorbs 6-1 Loss to Boston
Boston pitcher Matthew Rowlands did his part in helping his team defeat the Oakland Invaders, 6-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Rowlands, the winner, moves to 12-7. He threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 2 walks. The win elevated the Whistlers to 83-61.

Boston used the clutch hitting of Tim Lotz to snag the win. The pinch hitter drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Whistlers ahead, 6-1. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a crucial one.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Lotz said after the game.
