On to the DFR!Quad Cities 4, Lansing 2

• A leadoff double in the 2nd, followed by a sac bunt and RBI single got Lansing on the board vs Boone Whiting.  Back to back singles followed by back to back walks pushed the 2nd and final run across against Whiting. He went 5 innings with 5 ks.

• Ronny Gil reached on a throwing error and Oscar Taveras (be still my beating heart) blasted a 2-run go ahead HR in the 8th to give Quad Cities their tally.
