MIDLAND, Mich. - The Great Lakes Loons (58-47) (24-16) benefited from five Lansing Lugnuts (53-54) (17-24) errors, a 6-1 win on a 90-degree sunny Saturday night at Dow Diamond.

- Maddux Bruns matched a career-best, going five innings. The left-hander permitted only one run in a two-hit second for Lansing. That was the only inning they earned a hit.

- The Lugnuts committed an error in the second, third, and fourth innings, respectively. A wild pitch and a fielder's choice scored two in the fourth. Corey Avant walked two to start the inning.

- Carlos Rojas rocked his second home run of 2025 in the fifth. Wei-En Lin entered from the bullpen, and after getting ahead 0-2, Rojas blasted a changeup 400 feet and 100 mph off the bat.

- In the sixth, Jordan Thompson plated a run with a sac fly. Elijah Hainline walked aboard to score; he walked and scored in the fourth, too.

- A two-error ninth for Lansing aided two runs for Great Lakes. Joe Vetrano singled for the third time on the night, and Jordan Thompson reached on a fielder's choice. An error at second base put two across.

- The Loons bullpen went four scoreless. Nicolas Cruz struck out three in two innings. Evan Shaw retired all six he faced, punching out two and earning the save.
