West Michigan leaned on a team effort of sharp offense to overpower Lansing, punching a ticket to their first Midwest League Championship series since 2007.
West Michigan looked to the experienced arm of pitcher Ross Seaton to face a do-or-die situation on Monday evening in Lansing, but it was a steamrolling round of offense from the Whitecaps to carry West Michigan to their first Midwest League Championship series since 2007.
An uncharacteristic outing from the normally even-keeled Seaton forced West Michigan to jolt their offense to add the power needed to advance, and advance they did.
