Whitecaps Pick Up 8-3 Win Against Cedar Rapids
The West Michigan Whitecaps knocked off the Cedar Rapids Kernels, 8-3, at Fifth Third Ballpark. Mauro Castro was a big reason West Michigan won. The second baseman went 2-3 with 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The first-place Whitecaps, at 69-21, lead the Eastern Division by 17½ games.

The Whitecaps ran into trouble in the top of the fifth. The score was 3-2, West Michigan, with two out. Cedar Rapids, with the bases loaded, had Luis Hernández at the plate. With a base hit, he could have changed the complexion of the game. Instead, he grounded out and the Whitecaps went on to win.
