Great Lakes Loons News Release


MIDLAND, Mich. - The Great Lakes Loons (44-42) (10-11) were contained by Lansing Lugnuts (47-40) (11-10) pitching, dropping the series finale 3-1 on an 80-degree partly cloudy Sunday afternoon night at Dow Diamond.

- Lansing's Corey Avant went six scoreless for a second time in the series. Elijah Hainline 's bunt single in the fourth and Wilman Diaz 's single to center in the fifth were the only hits off Avant.

- Loons' starter Luke Fox struck out four in his two-inning appearance, his first off the injured list. The left-hander punched out the side in the second.

- The Lugnuts tallied three runs in the fifth. Casey Yamauchi delivered an RBI double, Ryan Lasko lifted a sac fly, and Jonny Butler sliced a single to left field to make it 3-0.

- In the eighth, Kendall George walked, and Elijah Hainline singled to put two on with two outs. A double steal gave George his 40th and Hainline his first as a Loon and 21st on the season. George became the tenth Loon in a single season to reach 40 stolen bases. A strikeout ended the frame.

- Cameron Decker delivered his second home run of the series and Great Lakes their lone run-a 378-footer to deep left field.
