South Bend Downed, 6-5, by Whitecaps
South Bend got a decent performance from pitcher Ed Green, but it wasn't enough to beat the West Michigan Whitecaps. West Michigan won the Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium contest, 6-5. Green threw 7.0 innings allowing 4 runs for the losing team. Steve Hood picked up the win in relief. Marcus Kerklaan took the loss for South Bend. Aurelio González, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 20th save.

West Michigan used the timely hitting of Don Robison to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Whitecaps on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We certainly don't want to get used to losing," said losing manager Taylor Davis.

West Michigan has an impressive 58-18 record.
