Bowling Green Hot Rods News Release

Sunday Split.... The Hot Rods dropped the series finale, 7-5 to the Wilmington Blue Rocks at Bowling Green Ballpark.

Duncan Davitt tossed 5.0 innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out three in a no-decision.

Strong Starts... Bowling Green has yet to lose an opening game to a series this season. In opening situations this year, the Hot Rods are 9-0, including 4-0 on the road. The offense has collected a.284 batting average while the pitching has handled their business with a 2.43 ERA.

Settling In for The South.... The beginning of the 2024 season has held five SAL North Division opponents. Bowling Green faced Hudson Valley, Jersey Shore, Greensboro, Brooklyn, and Wilmington during the first two months of the season.
