Whitecaps Make It 5 Straight with 3-1 Win
In a low-scoring contest between the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Fort Wayne TinCaps, Spike Kimball was the X factor. The West Michigan right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. In 6 innings, Kimball surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. Chris Whittemore earned the save for West Michigan, his 28th.

Chris Jacobs had a direct impact on the outcome. Jacobs contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the third inning to put West Michigan up, 1-0.

Kimball attributed the win to his team's "determination."

The Whitecaps, at 71-33, have a comfortable 16-game lead in their division.
