Chiefs Beaten by Lugnuts, 7-5
The Lansing Lugnuts topped the Peoria Chiefs, 7-5, at Cooley Law School Stadium. Lansing first baseman Mike Nicholas was a spark plug for the offense. He went 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Lansing pitcher Ignacio Benítez got the win, upping his record to 4-2. Doug Peterson got the loss. Lansing has now won 3 in a row.

Lansing took a 7-4 lead on António León's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which León hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Peoria pitcher Pete Purser visibly frustrated.

"It was a solid team effort," said Nicholas after the game.
