HIGH-A CENTRAL LEAGUE
Great Lakes Loons 5
Lansing Lugnuts 10
WP: Sawyer 1-0 / 4.82
HR: Schuemann (3), Selman (2)
Prospect Of The Game:
Shortstop Max Schuemann
(2 for 5 / Home Run / Double / 4 RBIs)
Lansing’s lineup continued its recent resurgence to help the Lugnuts outlast the Loons and notch their fourth win in their last five games on Tuesday. And once again, shortstop Max Schuemann led the way. The 23-year-old infielder, who’s currently leading the Lugnuts with a 1.036 OPS, launched a three-run homer in the 4th inning to give Lansing the lead and later doubled in another run in the team’s five-run 8th. Right fielder Shane Selman tagged a two-run homer in the 8th and also walked and stole a base, while center fielder Michael Guldberg singled, doubled, drew a walk and drove in a pair, and left fielder Austin Beck doubled in the winning run in the bottom of the 8th for the Lugnuts. Starter Rafael Kelly allowed 4 runs, 3 earned, over 5 frames, while LHP Dalton Sawyer picked up the win despite giving up the tying run in the top of the 8th for Lansing.
The Lugnuts at one point trailed the Loons, 3-0.

But with the game a scoreless tie in the top of the 10th, the RoughRiders used a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly to bring the runner home from second and score the only run of the game. RHP Zach Jackson, who allowed the unearned run, suffered the hard-luck loss for the Hounds. Outfielders Jhonny Santos and Chase Calabuig both singled and walked in the loss.
