Midwest League Action (8/17)

August 17 scoreboard.

@Kane County 5, Wisconsin 0: “They swung at some pitches out of the zone, but that’s going to happen,” Nieckula said. “You’ve got to capitalize on that aggressiveness.”

West Michigan 9, @South Bend 4: "There isn't one player on this team that can carry us, everyone has to be on top of his game,'' explained Haley. "We have to be hitting on all cylinders, and we haven't been doing that.''

@Fort Wayne 4, Lansing 3: “It’s no question it’s a tall task,” Dascenzo said. “We’re not mathematically eliminated yet. Anything is possible in this game.”

@Cedar Rapids 5, Beloit 4 (13 innings): "I did not know it was a home run," said Fuller, who has nine of them this season. "I just kept running because I knew that we at least needed me to get into scoring position ... All the guys gave me a hard time for not enjoying it, but I didn't know. I had to make sure."

@Clinton 8, Peoria 5: While left-hander Tim Murphy's debut was the story prior to the game, it was a pair of homers and four RBI by league RBI leader Mitch Moreland that ultimately had the Alliant Energy Field fans in awe

Burlington 4, @Quad Cities 2: “Instead, we were constantly behind the count, and we had to scuffle against a guy who had pretty good stuff.”

Great Lakes 9, @Dayton 8: "We could have just shut it down, and didn't," Scott said. "That's the sign of a winner."
