TRAVERSE CITY, MI - The Traverse City Beach Bums got a strong start out of Brooks Belter and two hits from Jose Vargas, but the Evansville Otters scored an unearned run in the seventh inning, pushing the Otters to a 5-1 victory.
TC got on the board with the initial tally of the contest as with the bases loaded, Kyle Eveland walked to force in Chase Burch, who had walked to lead off the frame. Evansville would tie the game in the top of the third as Luis Parache would single home Alex Foltz.
With the game tied at 1-1, Evansville saw DeAngelo Mack and Andrew Kuhn single to lead off the seventh. Brett Chamberlain came up and sacrificed back to the mound. The throw to first was wide, however, allowing Mack to score and giving the Otters a 2-1 edge.
