Evansville, Ind. - Evansville took a 3-0 lead in the middle innings but could not hold on late as Windy City handed them their fifth consecutive loss 7-4 on Saturday night at Bosse Field.
Windy City scored two runs in the sixth and eighth innings to tie the game before pushing across three in the ninth inning which proved to be the difference.
