Miguel Olivo slammed 3 homeruns as the West Huron Whitecaps defeated the
Elkhart Lake Racers by the score of 8 to 2 at Siebkens Park (06).
 
Olivo had a great evening at the plate.  He ripped a solo home run in the 3rd
inning, clubbed a three-run home run in the 4th inning and launched a
rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun in the 5th inning.
Overall West Huron out-hit Elkhart Lake 9 to 5.  
 
Carlos Zambrano(9-5) went 7 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. A.J.
Burnett(5-7) took the loss.  He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 4 and 2/3
innings of work.  
 
'It's almost like the ball was trying to hit my bat,' Olivo said. 'Whenever I
would swing, the ball found the sweet spot.'
