Connor Gausslin was strong on the mound early on striking out 3 in the first 2 innings, and holding the Corn Dogs scoreless through 5.
Lake County finally got on the board in the 6th, using a pair of triples, but the Miracle struck back with 2 of their own in their half of the inning; holding a 5-3 lead heading to the 7th.
