Meza, Great Lakes Open R1 Strong with 4-3 Win
The Great Lakes Loons started the Round 1 in style, downing the visiting Fort Wayne TinCaps at Dow Diamond by a score of 4-3 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Loons left-hander Luis Meza threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball.

Diego Melis dealt the TinCaps a blow in the bottom of the fourth. Batting with a runner on 2nd and Great Lakes leading 3-0, Melis hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring double.

"We've got a great group of guys," Melis said, "and we're having fun right now."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dow Diamond in Midland.
