West Michigan Beats Fort Wayne, 3-1
The Fort Wayne TinCaps could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Daniel Ávila into a win. Instead, the West Michigan Whitecaps prevailed, 3-1. Ávila threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball. West Michigan pitcher Spike Kimball got the win. He's now 14-4. Daniel Ávila was tagged with the loss. The first-place Whitecaps have won 4 in a row.

The Whitecaps got a big at-bat from first baseman Freddie Johnson. For the game, Johnson went 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 11th home run of the season gave West Michigan a 2-0 lead.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Johnson, "and then get after it again."
