Parkinson goes 3-for-4, Leads Whalers to Win
The Hartford Whalers did just enough to sneak past the Echo Park Lakers, 6-5, at Eversource Delivery Charge Field. Hartford first baseman Tom Parkinson, in particular, had a standout performance. The win belongs to Hideyoshi Watanabe in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Daniel Sánchez took the loss for Echo Park. Hartford, now 20-11, has gotten their season off to a good start.

Had António Sosa not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Sosa hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Whalers.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Sosa told the Hartford Observer.
