MIDLAND, Mich. - The Great Lakes Loons (19-18) posted three multi-run innings in a dominant 11-4 win over Lake County Captains (20-17), on a 82-degree sunny and windy Friday night at Dow Diamond.

- The Loons scored four runs in the second, three in the third, and four in the fourth. Seven of the nine Great Lakes batters got a hit.

- Logan Wagner and Zyhir Hope hit back-to-back singles to start the third. A walk loaded the bases. The runs would come off a Carlos Rojas sac fly, his second RBI of the contest, and a Jackson Nicklaus two-run double.

- Two triples highlighted the bottom of the fourth. Josue De Paula walked and came home on a Logan Wagner triple rifled up the right field line. De Paula scored from first base. After a walk, it was Joe Vetrano 's turn for a three-bagger. Vetrano vaulted it over the centerfielder and hit it 105 mph. Vetrano has six hits this week, the team leader.
