Loons Win Third Straight, Five Batters Drive in Runs in 9-4 Win

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. – The Great Lakes Loons (6-2) got contributions everywhere in a 9-4 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps (3-5) to take the series and their third straight game, today’s on a 57-degree Saturday afternoon at LMCU Ballpark.

- Logan Wagner led the way with three hits. He blasted a solo home run 386 feet to deep right field in the ninth inning. Wagner is the first Midwest Leaguer to three home runs in 2026.

- Jose Meza had another multi-hit game, his fifth this season. The 22-year-old delivered the Loons their first run with an RBI single in the top of the first and an RBI groundout added one in a four-run third inning. In the third, Victor Rodrigues rocked a two-run single. He came up with bases loaded after Eduardo Quintero escaped a rundown in between third base and home plate the play prior.

- The top of the third inning started with a solo home run by Jose Izarra. The Venezuelan born Izarra, who missed 2025 due to injury, gained his first homer since July 13th, 2024, then as a member of the Double-A Tulsa Drillers.

- The Loons bullpen was vital this afternoon. Dilan Figueredo was dynamite, going 3.1 innings and earned the 10 outs efficiently. The right-hander needed just 32 pitches.

- West Michigan had opportunities late in the contest but went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Left-handers Cody Morse and Justin Chambers each allowed a homer, but both bounced back and did not permit further damage, combining for four innings.

- Reynaldo Yean, who reached 103 mph on his fastball for a second straight appearance, walked the bases loaded in the ninth but finished the game with a strikeout of Garrett Pennington.

Rounding Things Out

Cameron Decker drove in two with a double in the fifth inning. The two-bagger plated Jose Meza who also reached on a double. Meza paces the Midwest League with 12 hits, the fifth-inning double is his first extra base hit of 2026.
