Bowling Green Hot Rods News Release


Bowling Green, KY - The Bowling Green Hot Rods, in conjunction with the Tampa Bay Rays, announce that C Oscar Hernandez has been placed on the Disabled List. The move leaves the Hot Rods roster at one under its maximum of 25 active players.

Hernandez, 20, played in just three games with the Hot Rods after being received from Hudson Valley last week and was 2-9 at the plate with one RBI. In the Hot Rods playoff-clinching win Wednesday night in South Bend, Hernandez was injured scoring from third base on an Andrew Toles sacrifice fly that tied the score 1-1 in the seventh inning.

The final road series of the 2013 regular season continues from Coveleski Stadium in South Bend on Thursday night at 6:05 PM CDT. Bowling Green will give the start to LHP Jordan Harrison (4-2, 2.75), while South Bend will send RHP Aaron Blair (0-1, 3.75) to the mound. Coverage begins at 5:35 PM CDT with Hank Fuerst leading the Forever Communications Pregame Show on the Hot Rods Radio Network (1340 "The Ticket" WBGN-AM, 1340wbgn.com, and on the TuneIn website and app).

Bowling Green's final homestand of the season will begin this Saturday with game one of a three-game series against the Lake County Captains. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM CDT on Pink in the Park Night, featuring a Hot Rods jersey auction with proceeds benefitting BRASS and The Mary Kay Foundation. Saturday's game will be capped by Post-Game Fireworks presented by WBKO. For more information and to secure your tickets, call the Hot Rods Ticket Office at (270) 901-2121.
