MIDLAND, Mich. - Erupting for six tallies in the middle three innings, the Great Lakes Loons captured the series with a 6-1 victory over the Kane County Cougars on Monday afternoon at Dow Diamond.
Aaron Brooks (2-3) started the day in good shape as he blanked the Loons (13-12) through the first three innings. In the fourth, however, Brooks uncorked a two-run double with two outs to Kevin Taylor which gave the Loons a 2-1 advantage.
Great Lakes added three more to chase Brooks from the contest in the fifth inning. Brooks surrendered 10 hits in his five frames. Joe Winker picked up an RBI single and scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Pratt Maynard while Devin Shines also singled home a run. Scott Schebler finished the scoring by tripling in Taylor during the sixth inning against Andrew Stueve.
