Indianapolis Indians News Release

GAME SUMMARY:

Tribe starter Jeff Farnsworth could not locate his pitches Saturday night, hitting two batters and walking four as the Ottawa Lynx defeated Indianapolis, 11-3.

Jack Cust and Chad Mottola each homered for the Lynx, who erased a two-game losing skid. The Lynx produced 14 hits off five Tribe pitchers. Indianapolis added nine hits, scoring a single run in the second and a pair of runs in the eighth.

Jeff Farnsworth (2-5) picked up the loss, while Ottawa starter Bruce Chin (3-1) earned the victory.

Brandon Gemoll had three hits to lead the Tribe. Both Dave Krynzel and Chris Coste each added two hits.

The game was delayed one hour and seven minutes due to thunder and lightning.

QUOTE:

Tim Leiper, manager of Ottawa on the win:

"This was big for us," said Leiper. "During this roadtrip, we've had a lot of success until we got here. We battled back and put ourselves into a position to get back into the race. "

Leiper on Bruce Chinn's performance:

"He's been outstanding," said Leiper. "He did a great job tonight. He added a little bit of a slider and it really helped him. "

NOTES:

The Tribe attracted its five millionth fan-Tony Wesner of Olney, Ill. Upon passing the turnstile, Wesner learned that he would be the recipient of a pair of roundtrip tickets to Hawaii, courtesy of ATA, a personalized Indians jersey, box seat season tickets for 2005 and a chance to win $50,000 in an on-field promotion.
