Lansing Lugnuts News Release
LANSING, Mich. - Grant Judkins fired 7 2/3 innings, setting a new professional high, and the Lansing Lugnuts (18-25, 54-55) scored two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth to beat the Dayton Dragons (13-27, 34-71), 4-3, on Wednesday afternoon at Jackson® Field™.
Judkins, the Midwest League's leader with 116 1/3 innings pitched, surpassed his previous high of seven innings with a tidy 90-pitch, three-hit, four-K gem before yielding to Blaze Pontes for the final out of the eighth.
Trailing 2-1 entering the bottom of the seventh, the Lugnuts rallied to take a 3-2 lead on a Cameron Leary RBI fielder's choice and Ryan Lasko RBI infield single.
An inning later, Leary drew a bases-loaded to walk for an insurance run - one that proved significant when a pair of errors from second baseman Casey Yamauchi and closer Mark Adamiak allowed the Dragons to pull within one on a Carter Graham RBI single.
Adamiak set down Yerlin Confidan on a foulout and Peyton Stovall on a flyout to finish off his league-leading 18th save and halt Lansing's four-game losing streak.
In the win, Yamauchi went 2-for-3 with a walk and his 12th stolen base.
The Lugnuts and Dragons will next play a special Coors Light Thirsty Thursday doubleheader beginning at 5:05 p.m. (with gates opening at 4 p.m.) to make up Tuesday night's rainout.
