MWL1 Great Lakes Loons

Hot Rods Handle Loons

Great Lakes Loons News Release


BOWLING GREEN, KY - The combination of Easton McGee and Cristopher Sanchez shut down the Great Lakes Loons' offense for a majority of Tuesday night leading to a Bowling Green Hot Rods 5-2, series-opening victory at Bowling Green Ballpark.

McGree (W, 5-2) started the game and struck out seven in six, two-run innings setting the tone for Sanchez (S, 3) to finish off the Loons in the final three innings. The flame-throwing lefty would have been perfect if not for hitting a batter to begin the ninth inning.

Meanwhile, Bowling Green's offense, while quiet to begin the game, came alive in the fourth inning. After totaling just one total base runner in the first three 2/3 innings, the Hot Rods tallied 12 baserunners in the final five 1/3 innings off the combination of four Loons pitchers (Jose Chacin, Mark Washington, Jasiel Alvino, Nathan Witt). Chacin (L, 5-5) gave up three earned runs in five innings as the starter.

The only RBI-hit for the Loons came from James Outman on a double in the fourth inning giving Great Lakes, at that point, a 2-0 lead.

The Loons (3-2, 46-26) have now scored two runs or less in four of the first five games of the second half. They try and bounce back against Bowling Green (3-2, 42-33) on Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. CDT.
