Indianapolis Indians News Release
INDIANAPOLIS - Matt Gorski launched his ninth home run in his last 16 games as the Indianapolis Indians were defeated by the Omaha Storm Chasers, 4-1, on Friday evening at Victory Field.
Heading into the sixth, the contest was tied 1-1 after Logan Porter roped an RBI single off Indians starter Domingo Germán (L, 0-2) in the top of the first inning. Gorski, however, responded with a solo home run to even the score in the third. The Storm Chasers (36-16) secured the lead on a three-run blast, courtesy of Brian O'Keefe, to put Omaha ahead and cap their scoring.
Gorski continued to show his strength as he notched another home run to cap his dominating month for the Indians (24-29). In 23 games in May, the former Indiana University standout hit .280 with 15 extra base hits, 28 RBIs and a 1.050 OPS.
Evan Sisk (W, 4-0) tossed 2.1 scoreless innings with four punchouts after relieving Omaha starter Luis Cessa, who pitched 4.0 innings while only allowing one earned run with four strikeouts. Dan Altavilla (S, 3) struck out two of the four hitters he faced to close the door on tonight's contest. Omaha's bullpen combined for 10 strikeouts in 5.0 innings of work.
Indianapolis and Omaha will square off in the sixth of a seven-game series on Saturday evening at 6:35 PM ET. RHP Quinn Priester (2-1, 3.28) will take the mound for the Indians, with RHP Jonathan Bowlan (5-2, 5.57) countering for the Storm Chasers.
