Indianapolis Indians News Release
INDIANAPOLIS - The weather was the only thing that stopped the Indianapolis Indians, as the offense pounded out 13 hits and starter Casey Sadler pitched seven innings of one-run ball in a 9-1, rain-shortened win over the Norfolk Tides on Friday night at Victory Field.
Each of the Tribe's (21-15) nine batters reached base safely, eight had hits and seven scored at least one run. Deibinson Romero paced the effort with a 3-for-5 night, while Gorkys Hernandez, Tony Sanchez and Jose Tabata finished with two hits apiece.
Sanchez also drove in a pair of runs with a towering homer to left-center field off right-hander Eddie Gamboa (2-2).
Sadler (3-2) surrendered a home run in return during the first inning before retiring 19 of 20 Tides (19-16) batters with just one single as his only base runner.
The staff ace has now led the Indians to a 20-8 record in his time at the Triple-A level.
