The Evansville Otters fall in game two of the Championship Series one to zero. The Otters fall flat on offense and were shut down with one hit all night.
Tim Koons was on the mound for the River City Rascals and pitched a complete game. Koons had a perfect game going until he hit Josh Allen with a pitch in the seventh, then lost his no hit bid in the eighth. Hunter Ackerman started for the Otters and had good performance on the night only allowing one run on the night.
The only scoring play came in second with Clint Freeman RBI-double to bring home Mike Jurgella. In the fifth, the Rascals had a chance to extend the lead, but Chris Breen shut that idea down. The Rascals hit a smoker into right field, then Chris Breen threw a rocket to Julio at home to beat the runner and get the final out in the inning to keep the deficit to one.
The Otters will play the Rascals in game three Friday, September 16. The game will be CarShield Field with first pitched being scheduled at 6:35 P.M.
