TODD Isaacs has had a flair for dramatics recently and his clutch hitting has led to wins for his Lake Country Captains.

Isaacs hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead the Captains to a 6-5 win over Lucius Fox and the Bowling Green Grasshoppers at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio, on Friday night.

It was Isaacs' seventh home run of the season, which moved him into a tie for third on the Captains' roster

In game two of the series Saturday night, Isaacs continued his production at the plate.

He finished 2-3 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and one stolen base in the Captains' 9-2 win.

Fox finished 1-4 in game one and was 0-5 in game two.

Isaacs' heroics against the Hot Rods came just days after he led the Captains to 2-1 win over the Fort Wayne TinCaps on June 6.

Isaacs was the offensive hero for Lake County, scoring the tying run in the sixth inning, then knocking in the go-ahead run in the top of the 13th with an RBI double.

He finished 1-4 with a run scored, and one stolen base on the night.

In 53 games, in his debut Class A Full Season in the Midwest League, Isaacs is hitting .211 with OPS of .629 with 17 runs scored, 24 RBI seven home runs and 14 stolen bases.

In 2016, Isaacs was selected to the All-Star roster in the New York Penn League where he hit .333 with 20 RBI, six home runs, 14 stolen bases and an .898 OPS for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers in the Class A Short Season.
