Kalamazoo, MI - The Otters fell to Kalamazoo tonight by a final of 5-2,
but it was closer than the score tells. Evansville fell behind early 3-0
in the first inning, but closed within one run after Kyle Smith's two-run
homer in the third, his third long ball of the season. The score would
stay that will till the eighth, when Justin Jordan and the Otters ran into
some bad luck. Three infield singles and a fielders choice plated two
runs for the Kings, but the Otters would battle in the ninth. After the
first two were struck out, Evansville got back to back hits from Justin
Carr and a double from Ryan Sickles, then a walk to JC Field loaded the
bases for Smith. He would drill a line drive that was caught by a leaping
shortstop that would end the game. Justin Jordan pitched another complete
game in a losing effort for the Otters who are back at it tomorrow night
at 6:05CDT.
