Whitecaps Prevail, 6-4, Over Lake County
Despite a great performance by Lake County first baseman Brit Nelson, the West Michigan Whitecaps defeated the Captains by the score of 6-4 at Classic Park. Nelson was 4-5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Arsenio Pelayo, the winner, goes to 2-0. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with no walks and 3 strikeouts over 5.1 innings. The Eastern Division-leading Whitecaps have a record of 92-28.

West Michigan used a well-timed hit by Joe Jacobs to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Whitecaps ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Jacobs.
