Whitecaps play Hacky Sack with a baseball before the game last Thursday.
It's too hot to write the Great American Blog Post, so you get more baseball news.
FT. WAYNE, IN - For the third game in a row the Whitecaps used a big inning on their way to a victory over Fort Wayne. With six runs in the seventh, West Michigan cruised to a 7-3 triumph over the Wizards and took control of their own destiny in the race to win the first half title in the Eastern Division.
Lansing lost 4-2 at South Bend to fall a game behind the Whitecaps with one game to play in the first half. Therefore, if the Whitecaps win or the Lugnuts lose on Sunday, West Michigan claims a first half division title for the first time since 2000.
At stake is the right to face the lowest seeded second half team from the East in first round of the playoffs, plus the opportunity for the coaching staff to guide the Eastern Division all stars in the Midwest League All Star Game next Tuesday in Davenport, Iowa.
YES!
Notice how I'm conveniently ignoring the Cubs...
