Crowell Tosses Six Scoreless but Late Lansing Push Earns Lugnuts 3-1 Win  

MIDLAND, Mich. – The Lansing Lugnuts (53-51) (17-21) won in comeback fashion for the second straight night, a 3-1 win over the Great Lakes Loons (55-47) (21-16) on a 74-degree cloudy Wednesday night at Dow Diamond.

- Wyatt Crowell has not allowed an earned run in his last 24 innings pitched. Tonight, the left-hander finished six innings, striking out seven. Crowell permitted three hits and had two baserunners on, just once, stranding two in the sixth inning.

- For the second consecutive game, Logan Wagner gave Great Lakes a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. A groundout plated Eduardo Quintero, who tripled in the fourth. Quintero’s first three-bagger with the Loons and seventh on the season.

- Lansing’s Grant Judkins, on his 28th birthday, pitched six innings, giving up two hits. He struck out six overall, but five in succession from the second to the third.

- The Lugnuts scored three in the seventh, a bases loaded RBI single for Leo De Vries. The Athletics' No. 1 prospect was given the opportunity after a fielder’s choice and two Lansing batters who reached via a hit by pitch. It snapped Evan Shaw’s 15.1 scoreless inning streak.

- Great Lakes left three on base in the final four innings. Quintero walked in the sixth, his second of the game, and stole second base and third. Frank Rodriguez had a two-hit performance and was stranded in the eighth.
