Lugnuts Deal Dragons 8-6 Loss
The Lansing Lugnuts beat the Dayton Dragons, 8-6, in 10 innings at Fifth Third Field. Augusto Mercado, in particular, was impressive. He was 4 for 6 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI. Buddy Paige, now 5-4, was credited with the win in 2.1 innings of relief. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. The win puts the Lugnuts at 54-71, while the Dragons drop to 52-73.

Lansing used the timely hitting of Mike Nicholas to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Lugnuts on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Nicholas. "You've got to get results."
