August 7th
Evansville, IN - Three defensive miscues by Evansville proved to be the
difference in Tuesday night's ballgame, as River City scored two unearned
runs in a 5-3 victory over the Otters. The Otters took an early 1-0 lead
on an RBI double by shortstop Ryan Bethel that drove in Zack Pace.
Evansville plated two more runs in the 4th when Mike Spry scored on a
single by Ryan Rachal and Ryan Sickles came around to score on a throwing
error by the Rascal's catcher. River City scored two runs in the 5th and
another in the 6th to tie the score at 3-3 before scoring two more in the
7th following two errors by the Evansville defense. Pace finished the
evening 2 for 4 at the plate with a run scored, as Spry added two hits of
his own in three plate appearances, scoring a run as well. Evansville
starter Justin Jordan added another quality start to his resume going 6
1/3 innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits, striking out six.
Evansville finishes the four game series with River City tomorrow night at
7:05.
