Midwest League Action (8/30)

August 30 scoreboard.

@Quad Cities 6, Wisconsin 3: “All three of our pitchers, Fick, (Matt) Spade, Gonzalez, they did their part and that’s what it takes,’’ Dillard said. “There really aren’t any big revelations in this one. Guys did their jobs and we got the win. Right now, that feels pretty good.’’

Lansing 4, @South Bend 2: “Josh had a mental breakdown, he’s never had an inning like that before,’’ said South Bend manager Mark Haley. “He’s a competitive guy and he’ll make sure it never happens again.’’

Peoria 7, @Kane County 6: The Peoria Chiefs snapped a six-game losing streak and clinched the season series against their only in-state rivals with a 7-6 win Saturday night over the Kane County Cougars.

West Michigan 7, @Dayton 3: "We're trying to win these ball games, but we're also trying to win the playoffs," Dragons manager Donnie Scott said. "I didn't think (starting pitcher Juan Rafael) was into it. I know we clinched a playoff spot, and who cares about these (last regular-season) games? But I don't think you can turn the switch on and off.

@Great Lakes 3, Fort Wayne 1: {Artistic Sportswriter Alert!} As the sun begins to set on the Great Lakes Loons second season, Loons’ starter Garrett White was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dismal season.

Burlington 7, @Beloit 2: The game remained 3-2 until the top of the eighth, when the Bees would storm ahead even further. Burlington scored four runs on four hits and one Snapper error to take a 7-2 lead. Nick Francis had the big hit, cracking a two-run homer to dead center field.

Clinton 7, @Cedar Rapids 5: "Obviously winning and losing maybe isn't as important as making sure everybody is healthy and everybody gets (their work in). It's just a matter of going out and staying professional. There's not a switch that you can turn on and off. We've got to go out and finish ballgames."
