Thrilling Victory Pushes Whitecaps Win Streak to 6
South Bend got a terrific performance from pitcher Sergio Acosta, but it wasn't enough to beat the West Michigan Whitecaps. West Michigan won the Fifth Third Ballpark contest, 5-3. Acosta threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. West Michigan is rocking and rolling at 81-36.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Tim York came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing South Bend pitcher Mike Tillman, he hit a 1-1 cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting West Michigan on top, 4-3.

Said West Michigan manager James Russell: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
