Whitecaps Pocket 7-6 Win Against Dayton
Both teams had their chances, but the West Michigan Whitecaps eventually prevailed.

Oliver Matos was a major contributor to the 7-6 West Michigan win over Dayton. The Whitecaps first baseman went 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Rob Gachinsky snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-3 on the season. Rob Miller suffered the loss.

West Michigan designated hitter Chris Jacobs contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a slider to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 50th hit of the season and put the Whitecaps ahead, 7-4.

Jacobs told reporters after the game: "Close wins always feel extra good."

The Whitecaps own a robust 58-30 mark.
