Jacob Turner shined in what turned out to be a White Caps loss in his professional debut.  He pitched five shutout innings in which he gave up just two hits and he struck out seven while walking none.  Unfortunately, Victor Larez wasn’t as successful and he gave up five runs (three earned) in 1 2/3 innings of relief.

Wade Gaynor had a big day at the plate.  He went two for  five with a double, a home run and three RBIs in the 6-4 loss.  Eric Roof and Mike Gosse each had three hits.
