August 8th
Evansville, IN - The Evansville Otters got a shutout performance from
starter Jimmy Conroy who threw a complete game, two hitter, striking out
six, in the Otters victory over the Rascals Wednesday night. Conroy got
plenty of run support, as the Otters bats were hot, providing 15 hits and
nine runs in the winning effort. Evansville jumped out to an early 3-0
lead after the first inning of play after four consecutive infield hits
and an RBI by Ryan Bethel. Evansville got two more runs in the bottom of
the 4th on a two run single off the bat of Ryan Sickles who finished the
night going 4-5 with four runs driven in and a run scored. The Otters'
offense wasn't done as they scored two more in the 6th and another two in
the 8th. Zack Pace completed the evening going 3-4 with an RBI and three
runs scored. Mike Spry added two hits in five at bats, providing a pair
of RBIs and Evansville native Kyle Smith had two hits of his own,
finishing 2-4, with two runs scored. Tomorrow night, the Otters will
welcome the Gateway Grizzles, who come to town for a four game set, with
the first game scheduled to start at 7:05.
