Whitecaps Earn Series Split
June 8, 2008 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Great Lakes Loons News Release
The West Michigan Whitecaps wrapped up a pair of victories Sunday over the Great Lakes Loons. The Tigers' affiliate concluded a suspended game from Saturday, winning 10-1 over the Loons. They followed that performance with an 8-3 victory over the Loons.
The suspended game was marred by two hours, 23 minutes worth of rain delays. The Loons' lone offense was a solo homer by Preston Mattingly, his sixth of the year. Mattingly's homer came in the Sunday portion of the game.
In the regularly-scheduled Sunday contest, Kody Kaiser hit a three-run home run in the second inning against starter Victor Garate (4-1) to lift the Whitecaps to victory. Garate allowed four runs (three earned) for his first loss of 2008.
Alex Garabedian and Jovanny Rosario had three hits each in the loss for the Loons. Garabedian extended his hitting streak to 10 games.
The Loons begin a four-game series in South Bend against the Silverhawks beginning Monday night at 7pm. The game will be carried in Mid-Michigan on ESPN 100.9-FM and online at Loons.com. The Loons return to action at Dow Diamond on Friday for the final three games of the first half and the start of a three-game series against Lansing. The Amazing Christopher makes his second appearance at Dow Diamond during the Friday game. Tickets are available at Loons.com or 989-837-BALL.
