LANSING, Mich. - In conjunction with the Toronto Blue Jays, Lansing Lugnuts closer Ty Tice has been promoted to A-Advanced Dunedin and pitcher Andy Ravel was transferred to Lansing from Extended Spring Training.
Tice, 21, led the Lugnuts with five saves, allowing one unearned run on five in nine innings, walking three and striking out 12 while limiting the league to a microscopic .161 batting average.
