Clinton shortstop Tony Villarreal helped his team beat the Lansing Lugnuts, 9-2. Villarreal, who is tied for 4th in the MID in bases on balls with 45, went 3 for 5 for the LumberKings. The winner was Ken Wheeler, who threw 72 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 7 hits. Clinton has now won 5 straight, while the Lugnuts have lost 6 in a row.

With Clinton leading 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Villarreal hit a changeup from Kevin Carlton for a 2-run home run. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the LumberKings ahead, 5-2.

"The effort wasn't good enough," said losing manager Edgar Varela.
