COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — For one night every season, the West Michigan Whitecaps turn into the Beer City to represent Beer City U.S.A.
Saturday night was that night at LMCU Ballpark as Beer City welcomed in the Lake County Captains. As the Bung Hammers, the Whitecaps have a 2-1 record since the tradition began in 2018.
The Bung Hammers would get going in the bottom of the first inning thanks to Jake Holton's 13th home run of the season. That put Beer City up 1-0.
Lake County tied the game in the second inning on a RBI Aaron Bracho double.
However, the Bung Hammers would respond with an Austin Murr RBI single in the bottom of the third to take the 2-1 lead.
Captains left fielder Korey Holland would tie the game in the 5th with a standing RBI triple to make it 2-2.
In the sixth, Connor Kokx gives the Captains a three-run lead thanks to a three-run blast to left center field.
The game was suspended shortly after the home run due to the thunderstorms in the area.
The Bung Hammers and the Captains will resume Saturday's game in the sixth inning on Sunday at 1 p.m. 30 minutes after that game comes to an end, the two teams will play the final game of the six-game series.
