Beloit 2, Lansing (Cubs) 1 Snappers win despite drawing no walks and striking out 15 times -- that's baseball for ya' Game Summary from Lugnuts' Site: 2B Callix Crabbe huge defensively, which is nice to see... LANSING - The Lansing Lugnuts tried and tried, but they couldn't come back from a 2-0 deficit against the Beloit Snappers Saturday night at Oldsmobile Park. Before 5,380 fans, Lansing lefthander Justin Jones started for the first time since collaborating on a no-hitter on Easter Sunday. The very first batter, Beloit second baseman Callix Crabbe, doubled to left against him, stole second and scored on a single by designated hitter John Vanden Berg. After Venden Berg, Jones retired the next 12 Snappers. An error by second baseman Ryan Theriot ended the streak led to a run in the fifth inning. Meanwhile, Beloit righthander Tom Wilhelmsen, making his fourth professional start, pitched six innings of scoreless baseball. He was not overpowering, but he was effective. Lansing missed a scoring opportunity by inches in the third when Jose Reyes attempted to score from first on a double to left field by Robinson Chirinos. He was tagged out by catcher Pedro Esparragoza after a relay throw by shortstop Chas Terni. Facing Beloit reliever Josh Alliston in the seventh, the Lugnuts looked poised to take the lead. They had loaded the bases on a single by J.J. Johnson, a walk by Kevin Collins and an inside pitch that hit Reyes. Chirinos hit a ground ball through the middle of the infield that looked like a two-run single. But Crabbe made an outstanding diving stop to grab the ball and start a double play. One scored on the play, and the inning ended when the next Batter, Pie, was also retired on a diving stop by Crabbe. Lansing came up empty the rest of the way. Jones set a Lugnut season high by striking out nine; reliever Dan Foli added four more in two innings and Weston O'Brien fanned two in one inning for a season-high 15 staff strikeouts. The Lugnuts go for the series split Sunday afternoon at 2:05. Beloit Box Score: Wilhelmsen strong in 6 innings, no runs allowed; Fielder 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts, HBP.
