Cruz Excels, But Captains Win
The Lake County Captains had to overcome a big game from West Michigan center fielder Luis Cruz to leave Fifth Third Ballpark with a victory. And they did, winning, 9-7. Cruz went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Ben Tourville, the winner, goes to 1-2. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts over 6 innings. Devin Cain nailed down his 2nd save.

Lake County relied on the hitting of Joe Sauer to pick up the win. The left fielder ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the fourth inning to put the Captains on top, 4-2. For the game, Sauer had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll take this win and move on," said Sauer.

The Whitecaps, now 7-12, continue their poor start.
