Whitecaps Thrill Fans with 5-4 Win
Lansing catcher Chris Howard had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Howard was 3-3 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times, even as West Michigan beat the Lugnuts, 5-4, in 10 innings. After today's action, West Michigan sits at 91-48; Lansing slips to 57-82.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when West Michigan second baseman Daniel Wright, facing Luis Rodas, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Whitecaps the 5-4 win.

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