Quad Cities Completes Sweep of Hot Rods in 2-0 Whitewashing

Bowling Green Hot Rods News Release


Davenport, Iowa - Bowling Green mustered just three hits against three Quad Cities pitchers, as the River Bandits completed the three-game sweep of the Hot Rods with a 2-0 victory in front of 4,713 fans at Modern Woodmen Park Thursday night.

With the loss, Bowling Green (19-21, 56-54) dropped its fifth straight game and has fallen eight consecutive times away from the Commonwealth, the longest such road skid since 2010, while Quad Cities (27-13, 72-36) won its 10th straight game.

Hot Rods' starter Henry Centeno allowed just one earned run - a solo home run by Bryan Muniz to lead off the bottom of the fourth - giving Quad Cities a 1-0 lead.

Damion Carroll entered the game in relief of Centeno with two outs in the sixth and surrendered a RBI single to Kristian Trompiz that scored Ryan Bottger - who reached on a one-out fielding error - making it a 2-0 game and accounting for the evening's total offensive output.

Centeno (6-7) logged 5.2 innings while scattering eight hits and striking out six with a pair of walks. Carroll finished the game for the Hot Rods, logging the last 2.1 innings on three hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Carroll also stranded six men on base including the bases loaded in the eighth.

Quad Cities' starter Agapito Barrios (1-0), gave up just two hits and a walk over 6.0 shutout innings while striking out five. Barrios' shutout performance extended a streak of 41 consecutive scoreless innings tossed by River Bandits starting pitchers over the last seven games.

Relievers Ryan Thompson and Angel Heredia proved to be just as formidable, combining for just one hit over the final 3.0 innings and teaming with Barrios to retire 18 of Bowling Green's last 19 hitters, giving up just Riley Unroe's single with one out in the ninth to snap a streak of 16 consecutive batters set down. Heredia, though, completed the inning unscathed to earn his sixth save of the season.

All three Bowling Green hits came from the top three spots in the order, and despite picking up 11 hits, Quad Cities went just 2-for-17 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 men on base.

In the three-game set, the Hot Rods hit just .139 (13-93) collectively, while scoring in just one inning - Wednesday's three-run sixth in the 10-3 defeat - in dropping to 0-5 in the month of August, a stretch that has seen the squad score just five runs altogether.

Chris Pike (8-5, 3.18) gets the start in the opener of a three-game set at Cedar Rapids on Friday at 6:35 p.m. CDT, taking on Kernels' southpaw Randy Rosario (1-2, 2.42).
