Lansing, MI - After allowing 33 Kernels hits across the first two games of the series, Lansing pitching no-hit Cedar Rapids Thursday night en route to an 8-0 win.
Lansing starter Jake Garland got the ball in his sixth start of the season and did not allow a hit across the first five innings allowing just a pair of walks compared to six strikeouts.
With Garland pitching zeros, Lansing got on the board first in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out, Colby Halter walked, and two batters later scored on a Danny Bautista Jr. two-run home run to put Lansing up 2-0. After the homer, back-to-back singles put two more runners on base for Luke Mann, who doubled the Lansing lead to 4-0 with a two-run double.
