Casey Crosby to start playoff opener



Good to see Casey is doing well. As I've said before, this is the kind of kid you root for to do well. I have every confidence that he will soon be joining Rick Porcello to give the Tigers a potent righty-lefty, one-two punch at the top of their rotation for years to come.

COMSTOCK PARK -- The West Michigan Whitecaps will hand the ball to Casey Crosby in Game 1 of their best-of-three Midwest League playoff series against the Great Lakes Loons, which begins Wednesday night.

MIDLAND, MI- Potent pitching from starter Aaron Miller and a balanced offense attack helped the Great Lakes Loons overpower the West Michigan Whitecaps, 7-2, in game one of the best-of-three playoff series on Wednesday night. Miller out dueled Whitecaps’ ace Casey Crosby in the much anticipated match up of left handed starters. Every Loon starter got at least one hit as Great Lakes leads the series, one game to none.

Casey Crosby took the mound for the first time since the eighteenth of August. The ‘Caps southpaw lasted 2.1 innings in the loss allowing 5 earned runs on 6 hits with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.


This doesn't change the future outlook for Mr. Crosby. He will be a better pitcher as a result of the experience.
