Ryan Spikes became the hero with a sacrifice fly in the final frame, sending Bowling Green on the road with a 5-4 record and a series split against their closest rivals.

On Sunday, he hurled 3.1 innings from the bullpen, striking out seven in the process. This passes his 3.0 inning performance with four strikeouts from opening weekend that earned him SAL Pitcher of the Week.
