Great Lakes Loons News Release
LANSING, Mich. - Lansing Lugnuts (3-3) batters walked 10 times and gained nine hits to down the Great Lakes Loons (3-3) 9-3 on an extremely windy 49-degree and cloudy Friday night at Jackson ® Field.
Jackson Ferris battled high wind and command issues. The left-hander walked six, aiding five runs. Three straight free passes brought Brayan Buelvas home, who singled with one out in the first inning. Danny Bautista Jr. started the second with a five-pitch walk, and a groundout plated him, one of two runs in the frame.
Ferris struck out two in the third, staying in for the fourth. With a runner on first and one out, a sixth walk put two on and ended his day. Lansing would grab three runs in the inning after a Michael Martinez walk and balk, along with a passed ball and a Henry Bolte RBI single.
Great Lakes offensively had their most fruitful inning in the fourth. Alex Freeland worked a six-pitch walk, followed by a Chris Newell single. Newell stole second base, to put two in scoring position. A Kyle Nevin groundout scored one, and a Jake Vogel two-out two-strike base knock to centerfield netted the second run. Within one was the closest, the Loons got.
Lansing posted three more runs, a two-run three-hit sixth, and a one-run seventh. Eight of the starting nine Lugnuts got a hit.
Thayron Liranzo and Kyle Nevin both extended their on-base streaks to five games with singles in the eighth inning. Liranzo's with one-out, 107 off the bat to right field, and Nevin's with two outs to right, plating Liranzo.
