Ty Taubenheim, David Purcey and Ryan Houston each were hit hard on Sunday. Kyle Ginley pitched well but only for four innings. Lansing were the sole victors Sunday even though they only had three hits in the game, Matt Lane had the key hit to drive in two runs, and that's all they needed.
It's the abbreviated holiday edition today.

Aaron Mathews was 4-5 to run his average to .331. But he would like his one out back, he came to the plate in the first inning with the bases loaded and one out, and promptly hit into a double play. Manny Mayorson was 3-5 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI's.
Josh Kreuzer hit two home runs in a losing cause and scored all three of Dunedin's runs. Eric Nielsen and Kyle Phillips each had three hits.
