Ex-Indians lift Lugnuts

The Lansing Lugnuts, with former Spokane Indians making up the bulk of their lineup, defeated Kane County 9-7 Thursday night at Geneva, Ill., to become surprise champions of the Midwest League.

Third in the Eastern Division’s second-half standings, Lansing reached the brink of the title Wednesday when 1997 Spokane standout Jason Gooding pitched eight innings of shutout ball in a 7-0 victory. Gooding struck out nine and Midwest League batting champion Tony Miranda, an Indians outfielder in 1995 and 1996, hit a two-run homer.

Lansing won three straight best-of-5 series for the title. Kane County was the second-half champion of the league’s Central Division.
