Lake County Captains 2, Lansing Lugnuts 3

Jacob Zibin pitched 5.0 shutout innings of two-hit ball with three walks and three strikeouts. Conner Zsak followed with 2.0 scoreless innings before Jogly Garcia allowed two unearned runs and then Luke Hernandez took the loss without allowing a hit because he walked four batters in his 1.0 innings of work.
Tommy Hawke went 2-for-4 including a leadoff home run, just his second of the season. Luis De La Cruz doubled and no one else reached base safely more than once or had an extra base hit.
Hill City Howlers 3, Wilson Warbirds 8
Howlers fall to 45-62
Jose Pirela led the way, going 1-for-3 with his 11th home run of the season. Yelferth Castillo and Jonathan Martinez both went 2-for-4 with Martinez also walking and stealing a base.
