Whitecaps Roll to 8-0 Win Over Bees
West Michigan Whitecaps starter Thad Kennedy had all his pitches working at Community Field. His stellar performance paved the way for an easy 8-0 West Michigan win over the Burlington Bees. In 6.2 innings, Kennedy surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed no runs. West Michigan has an impressive 74-22 record.

West Michigan used the hitting of Sergio Jara to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Whitecaps on top, 2-0. For the game, Jara had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's easier to pitch when you get run support," said Kennedy.
