John Day had a big 2-run home run for the Whitecaps in the top of the second inning. With Boston leading 3-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Bobby Avelar, who is tied for 9th in the TAA in holds with 5, and punished it.

"We didn't play well enough to win," said DeKalb skipper Kinnojo Hara.
