EVANSVILLE, IN, August 14, 2016 – The Evansville Otters emerged victorious by a score of 6-1 against the Southern Illinois Miners on Sunday evening at Bosse Field, pounding out ten hits throughout the contest. Matt Wivinis picked up the win for Evansville, surrendering only six hits and one run in six innings pitched. Southern Illinois struck first in the second inning following a single with runners at the corners to bring the score to 1-0. However, the Otters would not remain on the losing end of the scoreboard for long. The bottom half of the second featured Evansville hitters showcasing a focused, patient approach, highlighted by four timely singles and two walks. The fourth inning would prove to a highly entertaining inning for those in attendance. Rolando Gomez and Josh Allen would take off for the races by remarkably hitting back to back triples en route to a two-run frame. Each respective team’s pitching was lights out after the fourth, exemplified by neither club scoring over the latter half of the game.
Up next, the Otters will have an off-day on Monday before starting a road series against the River City Rascals on Tuesday. The Otters return to Historic Bosse Field next Friday, August 19th with first pitch at 6:35pm.
