Battle Creek, Mich. - The Battle Creek Bombers (6-13) fell to the Eau Claire Express (10-9) Sunday Evening 6-1 as Eau Claire completed the sweep heading into the NWL All Star Break.

Express' spot starter Brandon Jackson (W, 1-1) allowed a run in the first inning on a Kade Scivicque groundout that scored Tommy Mirabelli and was superb after that. The righty gave up just four hits over five innings to get the win.
