August 4TH
Kalamazoo, MI - Evansville won their second straight game, and third of
their last four, beating the Kings by a final of 6-5. Battling back from
down 3-1, then down 5-2, the Otters plated four runs in the seventh, the
big blow coming off the bat of Ryan Bethel, who drilled a pitch over the
right field wall for a three-run homer to provide the difference. The
bullpen, led by Kyle O'Brien, pitched four scoreless innings, with Mike
Bille nailing down the victory with his 12th save of the year. Some
sparkling defensive plays down the stretch, including a back handed
leaping play by second baseman Ryan Sickles, was the highlight that kept
Kalamazoo off the scoreboard. The Otters, playing their best baseball of
the season, return home for an eight-game home stand, starting with four
against division foe River City tomorrow night at 6:05.
