Vinny Rice was a major factor in the 14-0 West Michigan win over Ames. The Whitecaps center fielder hit 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Luther Goto was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed no runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 5 strikeouts. The Whitecaps raised their record to 63-71.

West Michigan used the bat of Paul Hoffer to get the win. The left fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Whitecaps ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Whitecaps manager Dave Aimone had nothing but praise for his players after an impressive win, calling the result one of the team's best performances of the season. "Everything just came together on our end," he said. "I didn't need to do too much."
