For the home crowd, it was a thrilling walk-off win.

The Great Lakes Loons faced a tough opponent in West Michigan pitcher Sam McClure, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Dow Diamond by a final score of 4-3. McClure went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. West Michigan, with the loss, is 3-2.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bob Sprinkle in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 26-year old left-handed pitcher Chris Whittemore to win the game for Great Lakes. The home crowd went nuts.

"Our fans made themselves heard," said Sprinkle.
