Chad Thall pitched the final three innings.

Lakeland Flying Tigers 10, Charlotte Stone Crabs 1
Alex Koronis allowed nine runs (eight earned) in 5.2 innings, with the bulk of the damage coming during a seven-run third inning. As a silver lining, Crabs pitching (Koronis, J.P.

West Michigan Whitecaps 6, Bowling Green Hot Rods 3
