Lugnuts Pull Out Late Win, 4-3
There was no shortage of dramatics at Cooley Law School Stadium.

The Lansing Lugnuts had to overcome a fine effort from Fort Wayne pitcher Dan Porter to win, 4-3, at Cooley Law School Stadium. Porter went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. The winner in relief was Eugene Howe. He is now 1-0. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2 innings.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jerry Vance in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 21-year old right-handed pitcher Ben Dundee to win the game for Lansing. The home crowd went nuts.

"We're not really clicking on anything right now," said Fort Wayne manager Yunir Garcia.

Fort Wayne drops to 1-6.
