Mud Monsters Let Lead Slip Away, Fall 6-4 in Evansville

Mississippi Mud Monsters News Release


EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The Mississippi Mud Monsters couldn't hold a mid-game lead Wednesday afternoon, falling 6-4 to the Evansville Otters in game two of a short three-game road trip at Bosse Field.

Mississippi took an early lead behind a pair of RBI from Brayland Skinner, who tripled home a run in the third and doubled in another in the fifth. Roberto Gonzalez stayed locked in, finishing 3-for-4 with a solo homer - his first of the season - and his fourth stolen base.

The Mud Monsters led 3-1 going into the bottom of the fifth, but the Otters rallied for five runs in the inning, capped by a three-run homer off the bat of catcher Justin Felix.

Right-hander James Boeree allowed three runs in four innings of work, and Jeremy Peguero (0-1) took the loss in relief after being charged with three more in the fifth.

Mississippi added a run in the eighth to trim the deficit to two, and brought the tying run to the plate in both the eighth and ninth, but couldn't find the late hit it needed.

Tyree Thompson pitched a scoreless inning of relief to lower his ERA to under 2. In addition, Zack Morris struck out four over two scoreless innings - his third straight multi-inning scoreless appearance.

The loss drops the Mud Monsters to 9-12 on the season. They'll wrap the road trip on Thursday evening at 6:35 p.m., with right-hander Brian Williams (1-1, 3.00 ERA) set to take the mound in the series finale.
