Max Schuemann started the with a triple into the left-center gap and then scored when Cobie Vance hit a fly ball all the way to the wall, on which center fielder Reinaldo Ilarraza made a terrific leaping catch. Vance tipped his helmet to Ilarraza when he saw the ball was caught, but it was still 1-0 Lansing.
