West Michigan Whitecaps News Release


COMSTOCK PARK, MI - For the West Michigan Whitecaps, the last eight games have been decided by one run. Unfortuntely for the 'Caps they have been on the losing side of seven of them. Despite some early offense and right fielder Brent Clevlen's second homer of the year, the 'Caps lost to the Snappers 4-3.

The 'Caps started early as second baseman Juan Francia scored on a groundout by Wilton Reynolds in the bottom of the first. Brent Clevlen led off the second inning with a solo homer over the Batteries Plus Deck for his second home run of the year but it wouldn't be enough. With his father Cecil in town, Snappers first baseman Prince Fielder hit a two-RBI triple in the top of the third to give Beloit the lead for good.

The 'Caps have not beaten Beloit at Fifth Third Ballpark since the 2000 season, a series of ten straight losses. They will try again Wednesday night in the third game versus Beloit. Scheduled starters are Humberto Sanchez (2-3, 2.70) for the 'Caps and Dennis Sarfate (2-0, 1.96) for the Snappers.
