The Evansville Otters were defeated by a score of 9-1 on what was a rainy Day Camp Day at Bosse Field. After a brief first inning that featured each team recording a single, a massive storm would brew over Bosse Field. A rain delay would ensue that lasted for almost three hours. The pause in the action led to the Otters’ starting pitcher, Tyler Vail, being pulled from the game after tossing one complete inning. The pitching for the rest of the contest was then turned over to the bullpen, who struggled to miss bats throughout the afternoon. The collective group surrendered nine earned runs in addition to twelve hits allowed. Gateway starter, Vincent Molesky, managed to continue pitching even after the lengthy rain delay, tossing a gem during the process. Molesky finished the outing with a line of six innings pitched in addition to 9 strikeouts recorded. The Otters’ lone run of the game came in the sixth inning following a rocket of a double from Josh Allen, and then an opposite field single swatted by Jeff Gardner.
Up next, Evansville will face off against Gateway again tomorrow, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 pm CDT.
