Crane Spectacular in 5-0 Win
Paul Crane of the West Michigan Whitecaps was on top of his game.

The 24-year-old tantalized the Cedar Rapids Kernels with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 5-0.

"He had the changeup working," Cedar Rapids manager Chris Glasspoole said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The West Michigan hurler had 9 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort.

Crane told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.

This year, Crane has fanned 33 in 31.1 innings and collected a 2-2 record with a 4.31 ERA.
