Otters Swept Away In Doubleheader By CornBelters
The Evansville Otters dropped both games of a doubleheader against the Normal CornBelters on Sunday at The Corn Crib by final scores of 6-5 and 5-0 as Normal completed the three-game sweep of Evansville over the weekend.
In the first game of the doubleheader, Ryan Long wasted no time to open up the scoring as he hit a two-run homer in the first inning to put the Otters up 2-0.
David Cronin made it a 3-0 game with an RBI single in the second.
Daniel Spingola brought home the fourth run of the game for the Otters with a sacrifice fly in the third.
Normal got back into the game in the bottom of the fourth. Andrew Godbold brought home a run with an RBI single and Nick Cain made it a 4-2 game with an RBI groundout. A balk from Tyler Vail allowed a run to score to make it a 4-3 game.
Evansville added a run in the top of the fifth on a Toby Thomas RBI double.
Normal tied the game on a Godbold two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth.
Derrick Loveless ended the game in the bottom of the seventh with a walk-off RBI single to right to give Normal the 6-5 victory.
Tyler Beardsley is hung with the loss for the second straight game after allowing three runs in 1.1 innings.
Anthony Herrera gets the win after tossing a clean seventh frame.
Otters starter Vail pitched well but does not factor into the decision. Vail threw five innings, allowing three runs while striking out five.
Zack Kirby also receives a no-decision after starting for the CornBelters and giving up five runs, four earned, in 4.2 innings.
The Otters were then shutout in the second game of the doubleheader as they fell 5-0 to Normal.
The second game of the twin bill stayed scoreless for the first four innings before Normal broke through in the fifth.
James Davison Jr. plated the first run of the game on a ground rule double. Justin Fletcher then singled to left, and an error form Hunter Cullen in left allowed Davison Jr. to score from second base. Santiago Chirino then scored Fletcher with an RBI double. Andrew Godbold capped off the inning with a two-run double to make it 5-0 Normal.
Jonathan De Marte tossed the final two frames in scoreless fashion to seal the 5-0 win for Normal.
Jack Landwehr gets the win for Normal after shutting out the Otters for five innings and limiting Evansville to just two hits.
