Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Whitecaps
Fifth Third Ballpark was the site of a true pitchers' duel.

The West Michigan Whitecaps picked up a win at Fifth Third Ballpark, taking down the Kane County Cougars, 2-0. Starting pitcher Ian Estes was a big reason why. Reliever Aaron Kline picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Tom Taylor took the loss.

Had Feliciano Lembke not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Lembke hit a 2-run single. That made the score 2-0, in favor of the Whitecaps.

"We did just enough to win," Estes said.

With the win, West Michigan elevates its record to 14-10.
