For the first time in their 10-year franchise history, Dodgers Class-A affiliate Great Lakes are the Midwest League champions. The Loons were 9-8 winners over the Clinton LumberKings (Mariners) in Game 4 at home at Dow Diamond on Sunday afternoon,
Great Lakes captured the best-of-5 series, three games to one.
They had to do so in Game 4 in comeback fashion, and spectacularly so, erasing two different three-run deficits.
A five-run sixth gave the Loons the lead, and was fueled by four walks, including three in four batters by a Clinton reliever named Matt Walker.
