=====================================
West Michigan Whitecaps (23-13)
This was. By far the worst game of the season for the Caps blowing a 7-2 lead in the 5th. Tin-caps had bases loaded and a pass ball and 2 throwing errors scored all three base runners, up 8-7 the hit a homer in the 7th and caps got one run back in the 8th but lost
9-8. Caps out hit them 14-7. 3 errors killed WMW. I think Callahan was injured Clark 0-4 . He had no hits 2 games ago. I listen to this game and the caps announcer said he had a lot of family and friends in attendance. After Callahan was hurt the caps were deflated.
