EASTLAKE, Ohio - Fresh off the franchise's first-ever first-half championship, the Great Lakes Loons were simply looking for a series win against the Lake County Captains on Thursday night. The Loons fell 4-2 and dropped their final road series of the first half in a rain-shortened five-inning ballgame.
Rain had been pouring in northeast Ohio for a majority of the day but cleared out enough to help the Captains inch closer to their own first-half playoff berth. The Loons scored one run in the sixth inning and had the tying run at first base with just one out in the frame when the game was called.
Captains starter
The now playoff-bound Loons return home on Friday to begin their final series of the first half. They'll take on the already-eliminated Dayton Dragons with first pitch at 7:05 p.m. EDT.
