COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. – Great Lakes Loons (5-2) pitching continues to outdo itself, tonight accumulating 15 strikeouts in a 3-2 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps (3-4) on a 49-degree Friday night at LMCU Ballpark.

- Davis Chastain was nails, striking out five Whitecaps in his 2.1 innings. He entered with two outs in the sixth and permitted only one base runner. His slider was seductive and the fastball pierced the corners.

- Alex Makarewich struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth. He threw 16 pitches, 11 for strikes, with his fastball topping out at 97 mph.

- Great Lakes earned all three of their runs and five of their six hits in the third inning. Facing the Tigers No. 18 prospect Lucas Elissalt, the Loons hit five singles. Eduardo Quintero, Logan Wagner and Jose Meza all drove in a run. Quintero’s was stopped by a diving Woody Hadeen at short, with Quintero beating out the throw. The Dodgers No. 3 prospect smoked it 106 mph.

- Logan Tabeling earned the start and added three strikeouts in his three innings. After permitting a run in third, he induced a 6-3 putout to strand two Whitecaps.
