MIDLAND, Mich. – The Peoria Chiefs (12-14) offense had four multi-run innings in a 11-1 win over the Great Lakes Loons (17-10) on a 60-degree cloudy Sunday afternoon at Dow Diamond. The Loons won the series four games to two.
- The Chiefs hit two home runs, a two-run homer by Rainiel Rodriguez in the sixth inning and a Jesus Baez three-run homer in the eighth. Both homers came off Aidan Foeller. The three-run shot were unearned runs after a dropped third strike was not converted into an out.
- Peoria’s best inning was a three-run four hit third inning. Cade McGee and Jose Suarez each had an RBI knock. Great Lakes Jakob Wright permitted six runs; he added five strikeouts.
- Despite the Chiefs walking eight Loons batters and only striking out seven they worked out of jams successfully. They induced inning-ending double plays in the third and seventh inning.
- Logan Wagner drove in the lone Great Lakes run. Nico Perez had the only extra-base hit. Perez’ triple followed by a Wagner single pushed across a run in the fifth inning.
