AVON, Ohio - Dom Duggan's second-inning grand slam paced the Lake Erie Crushers to a 5-0 victory over the Windy ThunderBolts Monday night at All Pro Freight Stadium.
A single and two walks filled the bags for the Crushers centerfielder, who blasted the grand slam over the left field wall off of ThunderBolt starter Ricky Meinhold to give Lake Erie a 4-0 advantage. Duggan would add a fifth RBI in the third, when a single to center scored Joel Collins to round out the scoring.
