Historic Grand Slam Lifts Great Lakes
MIDLAND, Mich. -
Lori Ford of Mount Morris became the first-ever winner of the Miller Lite Grand Slam Inning and took home $5000 thanks to Outman. The Loons have been running the promotion since 2013 and no one had ever won. The grand slam is also significant because it's the fifth of the season for the Loons, which is the most in a single season in franchise history.
Already trailing 1-0, the Loons scored two runs in the second inning thanks to a
Relief pitcher
With the win, the Loons regain sole possession of first place in the Midwest League Eastern Division. Great Lakes goes for the series victory tomorrow afternoon on Summer Camp Kids Day, with first pitch set for 12:05 p.m. EDT.
