Whitecaps Pocket 9-0 Win Against Bowling Green
The West Michigan Whitecaps picked up a win at Bowling Green Ballpark, dropping the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 9-0. Spike Kimball, who is tied for 7th in the MID in quality starts with 14, was the difference-maker. Kimball, now 12-4, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 5, walking 3, and allowing no runs. The first-place Whitecaps have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

In the top of the third inning, third baseman Tomás Quintana had a run-scoring double for West Michigan. It was his 9th double of the season and put the Whitecaps on top, 1-0.

"It never gets old," said Kimball. "Winning, that is."
