Midwest League Action (8/8)

August 8 scoreboard.

@Clinton 3, Wisconsin 1: Blake Beavan had all of his pitches going Friday night as he picked up his ninth win of the season as the Clinton LumberKings topped the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 3-1 at Alliant Energy Field.

Fort Wayne 14, @Dayton 3: For the ninth, Dragons manager Donnie Scott used reserve second baseman Kevyn Feiner to pitch, and he didn't allow a run although there was a hit and a walk.

Lansing 5, @South Bend 1: Lansing's Marc Rzepczynski and South Bend's Sean Coughlin each displayed the precious mettle that is the stuff of minor-leaguers with bright futures Friday night at Coveleski Stadium.

Beloit 6, @Kane County 2: “Guys are playing hard, guys are competing, but you leave 15 guys on base, you’ll be hard-pressed to score runs,” Cougars manager Aaron Nieckula said.

@Peoria 10, Burlington 2: "Everyone has been pressing a little bit with all these losses," Peoria starting pitcher Casey Coleman said. "I've been on a losing team before, and it's no fun."

@Cedar Rapids 3, Quad Cities 1: "From now on, they're all big," said Johnson, whose club must finish first or second in the division in the second half to secure a playoff spot. "It's division play from here on out. Hey, one at a time, bro. We get a bunch of one-game winning streaks, and we'll see where we are at the end."

West Michigan 3, @Great Lakes 2: Justin Miller was two outs away from the first no-hitter in Loons’ history. The Loons were one strike away from a 2-0 shutout win. Neither happened.
