Indianapolis Indians News Release
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Jared Oliva launched his fifth homer of the season, but a three-run seventh inning gave the Gwinnett Stripers a come-from-behind victory over the Indianapolis Indians on Wednesday night, 5-4.
Down 4-2, in the bottom of the seventh, Gwinnett (31-31) scored three runs to take a 5-4 lead. After an RBI double by Chadwick Tromp and a wild pitch by Cam Alldred (L, 2-2) to tie the game, a sacrifice fly by Drew Waters plated the go-ahead run.
The Stripers opened the scoring in the first off a two-run RBI single by Joe Dunand with the bases loaded and two outs. The Indians (30-30) would respond in the following frame with a two-run homer by Oliva to even the score 2-2.
After a leadoff double by Ji-Hwan Bae, Travis Swaggerty grounded a ball into the gap to send Bae home and give Indy a 3-2 lead. Back-to-back errors led to the Indians fourth run of the ballgame. A three-base throwing error by pitcher Connor Johnstone, and a fielding error by first basemen Greyson Jenista on a ground ball hit by Swaggerty led to Bae scoring and extending the lead to 4-2.
Brandon Brennan (W, 1-1), Thomas Burrows and R.J. Alaniz (S, 2) combined to hold Indy scoreless in the last three frames.
Indianapolis and Gwinnett will meet again Thursday night at 7:05 PM ET at Coolray Field. RHP Osvaldo Bido (1-3, 4.60) will toe the rubber for the Indians with RHP Bryce Elder (2-3, 5.66) countering for the Stripers.
