LINCOLN, Nebraska - Brad Thoutt allowed just two runs over 6.2 innings, but the 'Dogs suffered a ninth shutout in a 2-0 loss to the Gary SouthShore RailCats to open the final series of the year at U.S. Steel Yard on Saturday evening.
Thoutt's 6.2-inning start was his longest of the year, but he allowed one run in the 6th and one in the 7th to take his second loss of the season.
Gary opened the scoring with a one-out triple from Hayden Schilling before Jackson Smith added another run with a two-out double.
Lincoln had just two hits in the game. Christian Ibarra broke up David Griffin's no-hit bid with one out in the 6th and Forrestt Allday singled to bring the tying run to the plate in the 9th before Curt Smith hit into a double play to end the game.
