Whitecaps Win Nail-Biter in 10
Fans saw a dandy of a game between the West Michigan Whitecaps and Great Lakes Loons.

In a tight tilt between the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Great Lakes Loons, Spike Kimball was the deciding factor. The West Michigan right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. West Michigan reliever Jim Lowery was credited with the win. His record goes to 1-0. Jarrod Lane took the loss for Great Lakes.

West Michigan used the timely hitting of Steve Ford to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Whitecaps on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Spike never lets off the gas," said West Michigan manager James Russell. "Good, bad, or ugly, he never gives in."

The loss puts Great Lakes at 4-3.
