Whiting's two-run home run was the game-winner against Williams last Sunday. Amherst bested the dreaded Ephs by a score of 6-4 to prevent an Eph sweep of the three-game weekend series. The homer was Whiting's second of the season and 10th of his career. In addition to the game-winning blast, Whiting knotted an RBI single in the 5th inning when the Jeffs pieced together four runs to take a 4-3 lead. The win keeps Amherst in contention for a playoff spot.
