Post Game SummaryStat Savant
atLugnuts at WhitecapsBeau Ankeney brought the Whitecaps home with a ninth-inning homer, sending West Michigan past Lansing 7-5 on a fly ball to center field. Ankeney finished 4-for-5 with two runs batted in to lead the hosts. The Whitecaps out-hit the Lugnuts 12 to 8 in the decisive contest. The clubs meet again Friday.
Ankeney's blast in the bottom of the ninth with a runner on proved to be the difference, giving West Michigan the edge in a back-and-forth affair.
The Whitecaps' lineup was more efficient throughout, recording 12 hits to Lansing's 8, and that advantage showed in the final margin.
West Michigan improved to 50-59 with the win, while the Lugnuts fell to 48-60 and will look to bounce back when the teams continue their series Friday.
The Whitecaps are losers of 5 straight, 4-6 over their last 10. The Lugnuts are losers of 2 straight, 5-5 over their last 10.
The Whitecaps are up next home vs Chiefs (Aug 27-29). The Lugnuts are up next at Loons (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
