Big Day for Benton in 8-5 Lugnuts Win
Lansing right fielder Bob Benton played a vital role in his team's 8-5 conquest of Dayton. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for Lansing. Jim Barber got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3.2 innings. Eugene Howe earned the save for Lansing, his 19th.

The game turned with two out in the top of the fourth. That's when Benton hit a 2-run double off José Morán. It propelled the Lugnuts into the lead, 6-4.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Lansing manager Corey Ragsdale.

The victory gives the Lugnuts a record of 62-55.
