Captains Rack Up 6-0 Win Versus West Michigan
Dan Knight had a strong outing for the Lake County Captains against the West Michigan Whitecaps at Fifth Third Ballpark. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 6-0 win. The winning pitcher was Knight, now 6-9. He tossed 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 8. The win gives Lake County a season record of 69-60.

Lake County took a 4-0 lead on Milo Lewis's 5th triple of the season. The 2-run triple, which Lewis hit in the top of the seventh, left West Michigan pitcher Kevin Estes visibly frustrated.

Lake County manager Chris Dwyer praised his team's "businesslike approach."
