Lansing Lugnuts News Release
LANSING- Jeff Maship tossed six innings of three hit baseball as he led the Beloit Snappers to a 1-0 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts before 1,455 fans at Oldsmobile Park Tuesday night. The win earned a split of the four game series for Beloit.
Each starting pitcher was phenominal on Tuesday night. Manship (1-0) allowed just one runner to reach second base and fanned five batters in his outing. He did walk two batters in the game, which were the first free passes that he has issued this season.
Not to be outdone, Lansing's Chase Lirette hurled 6 2/3 gorgeous innings, allowing just four hits in his start. He suffered the hard luck loss, as the only run of the game scored on a passed ball by Matt Liuzza in the fifth to make it 1-0 in favor of Beloit. The run was not earned to Lirette (2-1), who has allowed just one earned run in 18 1/3 innings this season.
The Lugnuts made it interesting in the ninth by putting two men in scoring position with noone out. Chris Gutierrez singled to left and Travis Snider doubled to right to put runners at second and third. After Brian Pettway struck out, Matt Lane was intentionally walked to load the bases. However Chris Emanuele grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game.
Lansing (12-3) ended the ten game homestand with an 8-2 mark, losing both games to the Snappers.
The Lugnuts will take Wednesday off before hitting the road on Thursday for an eight game road trip beginning with the Cedar Rapids Kernels. First pitch Thursday is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EDT as Zach Dials (2-0, 1.80) takes the hill for Lansing.
