Midwest League Action (8/1)

August 1 scoreboard.

Great Lakes 8, @Wisconsin 6: Lambo Field.

@Kane County 7, West Michigan 6: “It’s the game of baseball,” Smith said. “It bounces different ways. It happened and luckily we bounced back.”

@Cedar Rapids 4, Clinton 2: "Hat's off to them," Kernels Manager Keith Johnson said of the opponent, while sipping on a celebratory Coors Light. "They've got the record they do (62-46 overall) for a reason. They're a solid ballclub. They hit, they play pretty good defense. You let that team stick around and they'll get a three-run homer or a two-run double to beat you."

@Quad Cities 18, Dayton 0: "Two-homer games aren't easy to come by, so you enjoy them when you get them," Luna said. "I've just been patient. It takes a little time to get used to [playing pro ball]. Hopefully, I'm getting the consistency down."

@Burlington 10, Fort Wayne 1: "There's nothing more exciting than being in a pennant race with a few weeks left in the season," he said. "Every game and every pitch is meaningful. But we just want to go play every day because things are so packed and tight in the standings, and it can all change in one day. If we just do what we can, we'll be fine."

Lansing 3, @Beloit 1: “We are facing the best pitching team in the league and we expected to see good pitching in these three games,” manager Nelson Prada said. “We played good defense and they played good defense and pitched well, but they scored more runs than us tonight.”

South Bend 4, @Peoria 3: South Bend fifth - Taylor Harbin hit a three-run home run off reliever Jay Jackson after Jo Jo Batten led off with a single and Collin Cowgill drew a one-out walk.
