Ryan Knee was a major factor in the 7-5 West Michigan win over Dayton. The Whitecaps right fielder went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The Whitecaps improved their record to 67-46 by beating Dayton.

Knee had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-0 cutter from Josh Pogue, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Whitecaps a 7-5 lead. It was the 23rd home run of the year for Knee.

"We ground out the win," said Knee. "That's all that matters."
