West Michigan 14-7 After 10-1 Win Over Fort Wayne
Good production from left fielder Willie Kilmister helped the West Michigan Whitecaps topple the Fort Wayne TinCaps, 10-1. Kilmister was 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Whitecaps. Jorge Domínguez picked up the win, improving his season record to 4-0. He struck out 7 in 6.1 innings. Picking up the save was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Edwin Brown.

Jim Duffy had a big 2-run double for the Whitecaps in the bottom of the fourth inning. With West Michigan leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a splitter from 23-year old left-handed pitcher Joe Owens and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Whitecaps ahead, 4-1.

"They beat us, they beat us soundly," said losing manager Yunir Garcia.

The Whitecaps, now 14-7, have played some good baseball in the early going.
