Evansville, IN - Evansville dropped a close game to the RiverHawks
tonight by a final of 7-5. The Otters led 4-0 after a Zack Pace two-run
triple in the fourth inning, but Rockford scored four in the top of the
fifth on five hits to tie the game. The RiverHawks would take the lead in
the seventh on an unearned run, only to have Evansville tie it in the last
of the eighth on consecutive hits with two outs. Evansville's all-time
saves leader Mike Bille came in to the ninth, struck out the first batter
on a ball in the dirt that would allow the leadoff man aboard. After
another error and a sacrifice hit, two more unearned runs would cross the
plate on a sac fly and a single to provide the final margin of defeat.
Evansville heads out on the road for a three game set at Hawkinson Ford
Field against Windy City tomorrow night starting at 7:05.
