High-A affiliate wins first Midwest League crown since 2010

The Captains cruised to their first-half division title with a 41-25 record — seven games ahead of second-place Dayton and Great Lakes — and added an influx of talent midway through the campaign. Bazzana, the No. 1 pick in July’s Draft, posted a .369 on-base percentage in 27 games, while Matt Wilkinson — the winning pitcher in Game 2 — was promoted to the club in May and finished second in the Minors in regular-season strikeouts with 174.
