Why you should care: The Whale are a gritty, in your face team which have pulled themselves out of last place in the Atlantic all the way up to 3rd place in the Atlantic. They have lost their two games this weekend while Wilkes-Barre has won. The Whale need a win to keep pace in the competitive Atlantic while Wilkes-Barre wants to sweep the weekend. What gives? We find out this afternoon!
