Lansing lost all three games, on Friday they conceded the winning run in the seventh, on Saturday they allowed runs in the seventh and in the ninth to tie the game and then a run in the tenth to lose. And on Sunday they conceded the tying run in the eighth and the winning run in the ninth. Poor pitching is the theme of the second half in Lansing. The starting pitching was decent, Juliandry Higuera, Dalton Rodriguez and Yonardo Herdenez kept Lansing in the game only for the bullpen to blow up.
