Whitecaps Pick Up 8-4 Win Against Dayton
Greg Paul powered the West Michigan Whitecaps to a win over the Dayton Dragons. The final score was 8-4. The West Michigan shortstop was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. The 6th-place Whitecaps hiked their record to 50-52.

West Michigan used a well-timed hit by Edwin Perez to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Whitecaps ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said West Michigan skipper Noah Fourie.
