MIDLAND, Mich. -- History was made at Dow Diamond on Friday night. While the West Michigan Whitecaps escaped with a 1-0 win over the Great Lakes Loons, it's the fact that a new single-game attendance record was set that everyone will be talking about.
Shattering the previous record 6,671 fans were in attendance for the finale of the seven-game homestand.

It also wraps up a three-game stretch that totaled 15,634 fans (avg. 5,211).
Just one run was scored in the game, and unfortunately for
Great Lakes (76-51) and West Michigan each managed five hits in the game.
Vargas became the first player to make the team since
Shoemaker becomes the second manager in team history to be named MWL Manager of the Year, joining 2010 manager Juan Bustabad.
