EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The Miners snuck past the Otters with a 1-0 victory Monday night at Bosse Field. With the win the Miners took two of three from Evansville to finish their six-game road trip.

Brendon Malkowski tossed six scoreless innings to pick up his team leading seventh win of the season. He struck out a career high six batters and scattered five hits, walking just one.
