Kramer Champlin came within one out of a perfect game (7 inning variety). The Lansing twitter feed said the single that broke up the perfect game was a tough hop single past Emilio Guerrero, some thought it could have been scored an error. Lansing got the win to complete the doubleheader sweep. Ben White pitched a shutout in game one. Sean Nolin had nine strikeouts and the Fisher Cats had a three run, two run and a solo home run. Dunedin played three innings and got a win, Rajai Davis had a triple. Buffalo used fifteen hits to win.
Although Champlin wasn't perfect the affiliates were.
