West Michigan Pockets 5-3 Win Over Lake County
José Ramírez made an impact in the 5-3 West Michigan win over Lake County. Ramírez, who is tied for 3rd in the MID in total bases with 83, was 3 for 5 with a triple and a double, while scoring 2 runs. Aurelio González stitched up the save, his 13th. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Whitecaps.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Balduíno Vecchi? The West Michigan center fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Whitecaps on top, 3-0. For the game, Vecchi had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Ramírez said his team "executed a good game plan."
