Whitecaps 3B Pettifer goes 3-for-3 in Win
The 7-1 West Michigan win over Lansing was due largely to Joe Pettifer. The Whitecaps shortstop went 3-3 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. The Whitecaps improved to a lofty 104-35.

Orlando Gutiérrez had a big 2-run double for the Whitecaps in the bottom of the fourth inning. With West Michigan leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a cutter from Leo Adams, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2026 draft, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Whitecaps ahead, 3-0.

"I really like what we did out there today," Gutiérrez said after the game.
