Lugnuts Deal Captains 7-1 Defeat
Lansing pitcher Ignacio Benítez had a large part in his team subduing the Lake County Captains, 7-1. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Losses have been few and far between for the Captains, now 14-6.

Lansing relied on the hitting of Mike Nicholas to pick up the win. The first baseman ripped a bases-clearing triple in the top of the eighth inning to put the Lugnuts on top, 6-1. For the game, Nicholas had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I was able to really locate my pitches tonight," said Benítez.
