MIDLAND, Mich. - Great Lakes (Los Angeles Dodgers) feasted at the plate on Friday night, smacking 20 hits in a 7-0 win over Fort Wayne at Dow Diamond. The Loons had at least two hits in all but one inning.  

The Loons (29-16) landed the knockout punch in the first, scoring five runs on six hits. Dillon Paulson (double), Jair Camargo (single), James Outman (sacrifice fly), Leonel Valera (single), and Dan Robinson (single) provided the runs.
 
Great Lakes added to their lead in the second, when Chris Roller smacked a solo home run to left field leading off the inning. It was the third home run of the season for the native Texas.
 
The Loons tacked on a run in the fifth on a Jacob Amaya RBI single. It ended an impressive streak for Adrian Martinez - the TinCaps right-hander had gone his first 18.2 innings in the month of May (seven appearances, including tonight) without surrendering an earned run.

Third baseman Tucupita Marcano singled to maintain his .307 average, while catcher Juan Fernandez also singled to boost his average to .288.
