(Florence, KY) - A night after the Florence Freedom (35-42), presented by Titan Mechanical Solutions, used a five-run fourth inning to defeat the Gateway Grizzlies (29-47), the Grizzlies used a five-run fourth inning to defeat the Freedom 7-2 on Saturday.
The Grizzlies scored all five runs in the fourth on home runs. Blake Brown blasted a grand slam to dead center for the first four runs, and Richard Seigel lifted a fly ball to deep center and came all the way around to score for an inside the park home run.
Florence starter Cody Gray (3-2) tossed five and a third innings allowing seven runs on ten hits to pick up his second loss of the season.
Florence got on the board in the bottom half of the third. Travis Weaver singled to lead off the frame. Steve Carrillo singled on a hit and run through the right side to put runners on the corners with one out. Daniel Fraga lifted a fly ball to deep center that drove in Weaver. Florence led 1-0 after three frames.
After falling behind 7-1, the Freedom got one back in the eighth inning. Frazier Hall started the two out rally with a single. Collins Cuthrell followed with a single of his own to put runners on first and second. Andrew Godbold drove in Hall with an RBI single. Florence trailed 7-2 after eight innings.
Pete Levitt, Seth Harvey, Ethan Gibbons and Ed Kohout were called upon out of the bullpen. Levitt got the final out of the sixth inning. Harvey struck out the side in the seventh. Gibbons struck out the side in the eighth and Kohout fanned two in the ninth.
