EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Due to inclement weather in Avon Wednesday night, the Evansville Otters' series middle game at Lake Erie has been suspended in the top of the fifth inning, tied at 5-5.

The Crushers got things started quickly in the first with five runs on eight hits.

Evansville answered immediately with three runs in the top of the second. They followed three-straight one-out walks with a Jon Ponder two-run double and RBI groundout from Amani Jones.

The game leveled at 5-5 in the third when the Otters scored a pair on an RBI double from Marcos Gonzalez and a sacrifice fly RBI off the bat of LG Castillo.

In the top of the fifth, Evansville quickly got started with back-to-back singles from Logan Brown and Blake Robertson before action was paused due to rain. After about 20 minutes of delay time, the game was suspended.

The two sides will now resume this contest tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 p.m. CT and play a 7-inning series finale approximately 30 minutes following the conclusion of the suspended game.
