Hot Rods Defeated by Whitecaps, 9-5
Bowling Green got a terrific game from center fielder Chris Jones. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to West Michigan, 9-5. Jones went 3 for 5 with 3 singles and a walk. Aurelio González earned his 4th save, after closing out the game. West Michigan goes to 8-4.

West Michigan used a well-timed hit by Joe Pettifer to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Whitecaps ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Pettifer offered a curt "no comment" when asked to discuss the win after the game.
