Lake County Captains

So parking was filling up fast, and it was as much for the Kernels as it was for the football.

There was a, you know, nice, I think, 2,500 or so crowd for the Kernels game, and they started out really terrible, got- Wonked by the Lake County captains.

I think he scored like three or four runs in the first inning that the starting pitcher didn't even make it out of the first inning.

I think after two outs, they, they sent him away and Colonel Link scored one in the, in inning...

There we go, gotta work on that.

I can't say that, you know, both teams won, so that, you know, I suppose maybe Ed's loss 'cause he was cheering for Lake County as a Guardians affiliate.

The Lake County Captains are about 20 minutes away, 30 minutes away from the Cleveland Guardians and Progressive Field.

You've got the Dayton Dragons, which is where I currently am finishing up this final week of the regular season.

I mean, I personally love the all-white everything that he is rocking on that one with the Mud Hens.

In that picture,

I do want to shout out one, Ben, on September 4th.

Tomorrow night, the Lake County Captains are doing Clemson.

Cleveland Sports History Night, which is already up my alley as a sports history nerd.

But they are honoring one of the most infamous nights in all of sports history.

McCoy was injured during the Defending National Champions Exhibition Tour in Lithuania.

In the Midwest League, West Michigan out-slugged Dayton 14-11, South Bend beat Santa Rapids 8-4, with Lake County over Great Lakes 4-3, and Fort Wayne defeated Lansing 6-4.

Those four series continue tonight.

In high school boys' soccer, St. Joe shot out Kalamazoo Central 4-0, Lakeview edged Vicksburg 3-2, and it was Bridgman over Parchment 8-5.
