Off the Bench: Whitecaps hitting coach Benny Distefano will miss all three games of the series against the River Bandits to serve a suspension handed down by Midwest League President George Spelius. The suspension stems from the Whitecaps game on July 21 at Burlington when Distefano was ejected during a rain delay.
