Whitecaps Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The West Michigan Whitecaps defeated the Great Lakes Loons in 10 innings, 4-3, in part because of second baseman Orlando Gutiérrez. Gutiérrez was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk for the Whitecaps. Reliever Aurelio González picked up the win. His record improves to 6-2. Jarrod Lane, who is tied for 5th in the MID in saves with 19, took the loss. The first-place Whitecaps have won 5 straight.

Gutiérrez delivered a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the tenth to win it for West Michigan. In the contest, Gutiérrez went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk.

"What a great win for our team," said a jubilant Bo Porter, the West Michigan manager.
