Lake County tacked on another in the 4th thanks to Bo Greenwell's RBI single, pushing the deficit to 9-1.
The TinCaps had a rally going in the 2nd, loading the bases with one out but they were only able to plate one run before a double play ended the inning.

An RBI groundout by Valdez was followed by an RBI infield single by Wande Olabisi which made it 10-5.
