West Michigan Rallies to 3-2 Win
The West Michigan Whitecaps had to overcome a good performance from Ames pitcher Elijah Shipley to claim a 3-2 win at Fifth Third Ballpark. Shipley went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. The win belonged to Elias Valverde in relief. His record improves to 5-1. Kayson Redpath took the loss for Ames. Jammer Dougherty earned the save, his 19th.

Had Hunter Mayfield not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Mayfield hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Whitecaps.

"We were in it," said Ames manager Johnny Majorca. "We just didn't score enough runs."

West Michigan, at 32-27, sits in 6th place in the Midwest League Eastern Division.
