The Great Lakes Loons continued to struggle at the plate on Tuesday evening against the surging West Michigan Whitecaps. The Loons would only manage 4 hits on the night and took the lead in the bottom of the 7th inning. The Loons bullpen would surrender 2 runs in both the 8th and 9th innings.
West Michigan came into the game with a 6th game winning streak would be carrying a number of the Detroit Tigers top prospects on their roster. One of the interesting players is the son of Kirk Gibson a 5th round draft choice in 2015. Cam Gibson has the same body structure and movements that made his father a great player. However in the first game of the series Gibson didn't see action. Derek Hill a 1st round draft choice in 2014 is the leadoff hitter for the Whitecaps and should move up a classification after the All-Star break.
The Loons were lead at the plate by Deivy Castillo with 2 hits and Michael Boyle pitched a strong game with 7 innings worked with only 1 earned run by the Whitecaps. 1,484 fans were in attendance to see the Whitecaps move to 29-19 record good for second place in the Eastern Division of the Midwest League. While the Loons dropped to 22-28 on the season. Great Lakes will play the Whitecaps in two more night games before entertaining the Lake County Captains for a weekend series at Dow Diamond.
