West Michigan Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The West Michigan Whitecaps dealt the Lansing Lugnuts a 6-5 loss in 11 innings at Fifth Third Ballpark. José Navarro was the star on offense. He was 5 for 5 with a home run, a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Aurelio González, credited with the win in relief, is now 3-0. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. West Michigan leads the Eastern Division by 7 games.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With one out, Navarro hit a fastball from Dorian Abbott for a solo home run. The Whitecaps, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This place sure got loud," said Bo Porter, the West Michigan manager.
