Fading TinCaps Lose 8th Straight
The West Michigan Whitecaps beat the Fort Wayne TinCaps, 8-6, at Parkview Field. Stuart Cole starred for West Michigan. He went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Matt Bessetta came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 1.2 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. This loss makes it 8 in a row for Fort Wayne.

West Michigan used the timely hitting of T.J. Ortiz to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Whitecaps on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Fort Wayne manager Nathan Halker, after yet another defeat, said: "We need to recalibrate."
