DAVENPORT, Iowa - The Quad Cities River Bandits dropped their second straight game at home to the South Bend Silver Hawks on Wednesday night.

The Bandits left a season-high 14 men on base in the loss.

Dan Calhoun (4-0) stayed undefeated but was unable to pick up his fifth win after throwing three and a third innings for Quad Cities. He surrendered three runs, two earned on six hits. Justin Smith kept the Silver Hawks at bay, throwing 1.2 hitless innings in relief. Joe Kelly gave up three runs, two earned, in three innings out of the Bandits' pen, while Jesse Simpson (3-1) was charged with his first loss of the season. He surrendered just one run on a solo homer and fanned four in just two innings of work for Quad Cities.
