Lansing 14 - Lake County 7
Jon Berti was 4 for 6 with a double, swiped 3 bags, and scored 3 runs to help lead the Lansing Lugnuts to another victory. Kevin Pillar tried his best to match Berti's pace by also going 4 for 6 with a triple but only one run and a stolen base. Carlos Perez continued his recent hot streak going 3 for 5 with a stolen base and three runs scored. KC Hobson collected two doubles (his third and fourth doubles in the last 3 games).
On the mound, Noah Syndergaard got the start and went his typical 4 innings giving up 3 runs (1 earned) after collecting his 3rd error of the season on a throw in the top of the 2nd. He settled down after that inning and ended his outing having given up 4 hits with 5 strikeouts and no walks. He kept the ball on the ground as he collected just one of his outs in the air while seven were scooped up in the infield.
Anthony DeSclafani came on in relief and did not perform as well giving up 4 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk. Seven of his outs came on the ground versus two in the air.
