Bowling Green 9 Lansing 3
Tom Robson has really struggled this season, this start was somewhat better until it wasn't. Through the first three innings Robson had allowed two hits. But he gave up three hits in the fourth and three more in the fourth and left with the bases loaded. His line looks bad, 8 hits and six runs, three earned, but some of it was OK. The Lugnuts made three errors.
Dickie Thon had two hits and two RBI, Dawel Lugo also had two hits, perhaps the warmer weather will warm up his bat. Justin Atkinson also had two hits.
