West Michigan White Caps (John Drake 1-0 5.14)
Andre Blakeways RBI single scored Raul Miranda in the 2nd, 1-0 after 2. Morgan 2-1-0-0-0-3 on 27 pitches, Drake 2-4-1-1-0-0 on 35.
Debating like hell before the game on Vela or Jackson at catcher. Jackson is in a horrible slump, but Drake is as tough as they come on RHH and Jackson can draw a walk. Well in the 3rd he did a bit better, drilling a 2 run shot to make it 3-0.
Pedro Debesa answered with a solo shot in the bottom half, 3-1 after 4.
Morgans lines 4-3-1-1-0-5 54 pitches, Drake 4-7-3-3-0-1 on 62.
Same score into the 6th for Horst Grueter, who leads off with a solo homer.
In the bottom half West Michigan gets it going, Chris Scott doubles, driving in Leao Corunha who had led off with a single, 4-2. Pedro Debesa drills a single 2 pitches later but Cordero guns Scott out at the plate for the 2nd out, and Morgan gets Montoya to end the inning. 4-2 after 6.
Roberson and Corunha single to open the 8th, ending Morgans day (7-8-2-2-0-10 108 pitches) Gerald Davenport in the game.
He gets Will Lee to hit into a 4-6-3 DP, scoring Roberson, but getting 2 huge outs. Scott taps back to the mound to end the inning. 4-3 after 8.
Davenport gives up a Debesa leadoff single, and leaves. Ernesto Cruz now in, Montoya up....
On a 1-1 pitch Montoya laces one back up the box, Cruz stabs it, turns to 2nd, and goes 1-4-3 for a twin killing! Two outs.
Pepe Mejia keeps West Michigan alive, singling on a 2-1 pitch.
Lefty Allen Hunter is coming up, and lefty Rob Bright is summoned.
Bright works to a 3-2 count and gets Hunter to chase ball 4! 4-3 final. Debesa was 3-4 with a HR and an RBI.
