West Michigan Wins, 3-2, Over Hot Rods
Fifth Third Ballpark did not lack for drama.

In a low-scoring contest between the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Bowling Green Hot Rods, Mike DeRieux was the X factor. The West Michigan right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. West Michigan reliever Craig Wells picked up the win, raising his record to 3-6. Robby Pieklo was tagged with the loss.

The Whitecaps were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 25-year old catcher Johnny Gonzalez landed a big blow. He turned a 2-0 curveball from Matt Laws into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Fifth Third Ballpark denizens into a frenzy and sent the Whitecaps home with a thrilling 3-2 win.

"Mike's good, period," said West Michigan manager Noah Fourie.

West Michigan, at 86-45, occupies second place in the Eastern Division.
