Lansing Rallies Past West Michigan, 7-5
The Lansing Lugnuts picked up a win at Fifth Third Ballpark, taking down the West Michigan Whitecaps, 7-5. Starting pitcher Kevin Carlton was a big reason why. Jim Barber picked up the save for Lansing, his 14th of the year. The Lansing win streak is now 6 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mike Nicholas? The Lansing first baseman had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put the Lugnuts on top, 1-0. For the game, Nicholas had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Kevin has got a slow heartbeat," said Lansing manager Edgar Varela. "He doesn't panic or anything."
