Navarro Helps Whitecaps Beat TinCaps, 9-1
The West Michigan Whitecaps stopped the Fort Wayne TinCaps, 9-1, at Fifth Third Ballpark. The Whitecaps got a big game from José Navarro, who was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. For Fort Wayne, now 4-19, the season is off to a dismal start.

With West Michigan leading 3-0 in the bottom of the second, Navarro hit a slider from Ron Whelan for a 2-run double. It was his 6th double of the season and put the Whitecaps ahead, 5-0.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said West Michigan manager Bo Porter.
