Indianapolis Indians News Release
INDIANAPOLIS - Hoy Park homered for the second consecutive game to bring the Indianapolis Indians within one run, but the Louisville Bats broke open the contest in the top of the ninth and never trailed en route to an 8-3 win at Victory Field on Saturday night.
Following a three-run spot in the top of the third inning, Drew Maggi led off the bottom half of the frame with a double in his Indians (50-52) debut. Park then followed up with a rocket into the right-field corner, marking the first time since July 24-25, 2021 with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre that he has homered in back-to-back games.
A two-out, solo home run by Michael De Leon in the top of the fourth inning extended the Bats (43-61) lead back to two runs.
After a run-scoring groundout following a leadoff single by Rodolfo Castro in the bottom of the eighth inning brought Indianapolis back within one, Louisville broke open the game with four runs in the top of the ninth. All four of the runs came on three consecutive two-out hits.
Mike Burrows (L, 0-3) surrendered four runs (three earned) over 5.0 innings in his eighth outing with the Indians this season. Opposing the Indians was Justin Nicolino (W, 3-4), who fanned eight over 6.0 two-run innings.
With two singles, Rodolfo Castro extended his hitting streak to 10 games, which is tied for the third-longest hitting streak among Indians batters this season.
The Indians will look for their 999th win at Victory Field (regular season and postseason games combined) tomorrow afternoon at 1:35 PM ET against the Bats. In a rematch of Tuesday's series opener, RHP Jerad Eickhoff (5-4, 4.18) will take the mound against RHP T.J. Zeuch (0-5, 7.34).
