Evansville Otters News Release
Brian Kroll threw seven innings for the second straight game as the Evansville Otters won their second straight game against the Florence Freedom, 5-1.
The Otters got on the board in the second inning. With Mike Spry and Beau Blacken on second and third respectively, Denver Stuckey lined a single off the glove of Zach Schmidt, scoring both runners and putting the Otters up 2-0.
Evansville got two more in the third as doubles by Frank Scott and Jeff Goldbach, followed by a Blacken single made it 4-0 Otters.
The Freedom got a run in the fourth when Kyle Geswein singled home Mike Galloway, but that would be all Florence would get in the game as Kroll shut down the high-powered Florence offense.
