JUST IN: Otters Shutout Boomers To Clinch Series Sweep
A combined shutout from Randy Wynne and Mitch Aker lead the Evansville Otters to a 2-0 win and a series sweep over the Schaumburg Boomers on Sunday afternoon at Bosse Field in front of 1,438 fans.
Evansville jumped on the board in the fifth inning on an RBI double from J.J Gould.
The Otters added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth on a Ryan Long RBI groundout.
Aker picked up the save in the ninth, his nineteenth of the season. Aker came into the frame with a man on base and worked around it eventually getting Dylan Jones to fly out to right field to end the game.
Wynne was stellar in his second win of the week and his sixth on the year for the Otters. Wynne tossed eight innings, working into the ninth, without allowing a run while giving up just six hits and striking out three.
Chris Powell picks up the tough-luck loss for the Boomers. Powell worked six innings allowing just one run while striking out six.
Following an off day on Monday, the Otters will begin a three-game series against the Southern Illinois Miners on Tuesday at Rent One Park. The Otters will return home to Bosse Field next Friday, August 10, to kick off a series against the Florence Freedom.

Otters go wire-to-wire in win over Boomers
The Evansville Otters plated seven runs in the first two innings and never looked back from there in a 7-4 victory over the Schaumburg Boomers on Saturday night at Bosse Field in front of 4,096 fans.

The Otters piled on three more runs in the second. Travis Harrison contributed an RBI single and then Ryan Long scored on a wild pitch. Austin Bush drove in the third run of the inning with a sacrifice fly.
Schaumburg got on the board in the fourth on a Clint Hardy two-run double.
The Boomers continued to climb back into the game with two more runs in the top of the sixth. Collin Ferguson hit a solo homer to open the inning and then Jack Parenty brought home another tally with an RBI single to right.
The Otters bullpen battened down the hatches however, as in the final 3.1 innings they did not allow a run to seal the win. Mitch Aker pitched the ninth, allowing just one walk, en route to his eighteenth save of the season.
Spencer Medick is credited with the win for the Otters, his fourth on the year. Medick went 5.2 innings, allowing four runs on 10 hits while striking out two.

Ellis Park: Wiener-Dog Madness
Today was the first of two days of qualifying for our annual Wiener-Dog Derby. The top four from each of two trials today and Aug. 11 advance to the Aug. 25 semifinals. The top four in each of the semis will come back the same day to determine who is top dog.
Our first heat today was, well, interesting, as the entire field dwelt at the gate. Finally Daphne Short, owned by Matt Short of Madisonville, Ky., made her way across the finish line. Also advancing to the semifinals were second-place Atticus Atwell, Ariadne and Henry. The second heat was the heck of a dog race, with Cooper Born, a rescue dog owned by Chris and Jill Born of Evansville, leading the pack, getting headed late, and coming back on to win. Finishing second was Itty Bitty Jo Hayes, Ellie Sparkles and Hershey.
Mothing & Insect Hike
August 4 – 8:30 PM – Howell Wetlands
Moths far outnumber butterflies and are much more varied, but most people don’t notice them since they’re usually active at night.
