Lakewood moves withing a game and a half of West Virginia

EASTLAKE, Ohio -- For the first three months of the 2008 season, the Lake County Captains were one of the only teams to have the BlueClaws number. Two months since their last meeting, Lakewood hopes that time has shifted their fortunes. The BlueClaws got their five-game series with the Captains off to an exciting start at Classic Park on Wednesday night, handing the first-half champions a controversy filled 8- 5 defeat.

Lake County rallied from a 5-1 deficit in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game, courtesy of a pair of questionable calls. With Eryk McConnell on the mound, Karexon Sanchez was hit by a pitch that he appeared to lean into.
