Two homers and Tyler Duffey were all the Red Wings needed.  Max Kepler was back, but no one else showed up on offense as the Lookouts were the shutouts.  A three-run homer sinks the Miracle.  A Kernels comeback falls short.  The E-Twins waste good pitching from Miles Nordgren.  A strong finish for the DSL Twins.
