Lake County Captains Shine with Franchise-Record Performance

On Friday night, the Captains took on the Dayton Dragons at Classic Auto Group Park in Eastlake, Ohio. The game was a testament to the team's offensive capabilities, as they broke their previous record of 19 runs scored on August 17, 2009, against Rome. The final score was a staggering 20-1, with the Captains demonstrating their dominance throughout the game.

One of the highlights of the game was the 12-run bottom of the seventh inning, which tied a franchise record for most runs in an inning. This impressive feat was fueled by a series of walks and hits, including back-to-back home runs by Alex Mooney and Cooper Ingle. Mooney, in particular, had a standout performance, scoring a franchise-record six runs and going 4-for-4 with two doubles, one home run, four RBI, one walk, and one stolen base.

This remarkable game was not an isolated incident; the Captains have been performing well over the past week. They have shown resilience and determination, as seen in their 9-7 victory over the Beloit Sky Carp, where they held off a three-run top of the ninth to secure the win.
