West Michigan Sent Home with 3-2 Loss
The Great Lakes Loons had to overcome a good performance from West Michigan pitcher Robby Mitchell to claim a 3-2 win at Dow Diamond. Mitchell went 5 innings and allowed 1 run. The win was credited to 21-year old left-handed pitcher Francis Gambetta in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Robby Mitchell took the loss. Jarrod Lane closed out the game, earning his 4th save.

Great Lakes took a 3-2 lead on José García's 1st double of the season. The run-scoring double, which García hit in the bottom of the seventh, left West Michigan pitcher Robby Mitchell visibly frustrated.

"It was a solid team effort," said García after the game.

With the loss, West Michigan falls to 6-2.
