West Michigan Tops Cedar Rapids
Tuesday, September 22nd , 2026
With a 1-0 win over the Cedar Rapids Kernels at Fifth Third Ballpark today, the West Michigan Whitecaps wrapped up their 6th title in team history.

The Whitecaps left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game.

"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said West Michigan manager Bo Porter. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."

A jovial mood filled the air as West Michigan celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order.

"I hope they have a big celebration," Cedar Rapids manager Bobby Chouinard said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it."
