In the 9-3 West Michigan win over Bowling Green, the impact of Joe Pettifer was substantial. Pettifer, who is tied for 2nd in the MID in stolen bases with 12, was 3-5 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. West Michigan, at 62-19, is 16 games up in the Eastern Division.

Chris Gibson helped his team jump on top from the get-go. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a run-scoring single to give West Michigan a 1-0 lead.

"We didn't get the results that we wanted," said Bowling Green skipper James Hoyt.
