MWL1 Great Lakes Loons

Loons Unfazed by Four Days Off

May 13, 2019 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Great Lakes Loons News Release


MIDLAND, Mich. - After an unplanned hiatus in early May, the Great Lakes Loons dove back into their winning ways with a tight 3-2 victory over the Dayton Dragons on Monday night at Dow Diamond. The Loons had their previous road series against the Quad Cities River Bandits cancelled due to the flooding of the Mississippi River. So before Monday, the last time they were in action was last Wednesday.

The win was the 13th victory in the last 15 games for the Loons (20-13) as they continue to be one of the hottest teams in the Midwest League. With the victory, Great Lakes ensures that they will enter Tuesday with at least a share of 1st place in the Eastern Division. There is a little over a month remaining in the 1st half of the season, with two playoff appearances in each division up for grabs.

Without Andre Jackson on the mound, who knows how the night might have gone. But thankfully, he decided to tie a career-high with 10 strikeouts over 4.2 innings of work. The former 12th round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers last struck out 10 batters on July 15, 2018, with the Arizona League Dodgers.

Hunter Feduccia stepped up with Leonel Valera on third base and produced an all-important sacrifice fly to score Valera to break a 2-2 deadlock in the bottom of the 7th inning.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Andre Jackson: 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 10 SO

Miguel Vargas: 3-for-4, 2B, R

Dan Robinson: 2-for-3, RBI
