Great Stroke: Henry Gets 5 Hits
It seemed West Michigan Whitecaps right fielder Rusty Henry could do no wrong, but it still didn't come out right.

The Whitecaps fell against the Lansing Lugnuts by the score of 12-11. Henry did all he could, rapping out 5 hits in 6 at-bats, but in the end, Lansing prevailed at Fifth Third Ballpark.

"I felt real good, but my best just wasn't enough," Henry said in the postgame interview. "We didn't play well enough to win. I saw the ball well and put the ball in play well, and they fell in for base hits. Some days they do that."

Rusty Henry doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, struck out in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

At present, Henry is batting .452 and has collected no home runs, 6 RBIs, .541 OBP and scored 6 runs.
