UNLUCKY 7

July 3rd
O'Fallon, MO – The Otters lost their 7th straight game tonight by a final
of 10-8.  Evansville trailed 6-2 after the first two innings but battled
back, scoring three in the third and three in the fourth to take a two-run
lead.  In the bottom of the fourth the Rascals scored two unearned runs
off of Jared Trout who came on in relief of an ineffective Matt Restivo
after two innings.  With the score tied at eight, the Rascals scored two
runs off three consecutive hits in the eighth off Kyle Pawelczyk, but the
Otters still battled, loading the bases in the ninth off River City closer
Mike Benacka who managed to pitch out of the jam, striking out the side
around a hit-by-pitch, single, and two-out walk.  The Otters travel to
Florence for a three game set starting tomorrow at 3:00CDT.
