Slumping LumberKings Lose 6th Straight
The West Michigan Whitecaps faced a tough opponent in Clinton pitcher Bob Gardner, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Ashford University Field by a final score of 5-2. Gardner went 5.2 innings and allowed no runs. The win belonged to Dan Brown in relief. His record improves to 3-1. Isidro Baltierra took the loss for Clinton. Picking up the save was 23-year old left-handed pitcher Bobby Chase.

West Michigan used the timely hitting of Jon Everett to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Whitecaps on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We've hit a rough patch right now," said Clinton skipper Matt Vining.

The Whitecaps raised their record to 16-12.
