Battle Creek, MI - Despite recording more hits than the Waterloo Bucks (19-5), the Battle Creek Bombers (9-16) dropped the opener, 10-4. Battle Creek issued a season high twelve walks.

Battle Creek jumped out to an early 2-0 lead through the first two innings. In the first, Rouric Bridgewater crushed his second homer of the season to center for a 1-0 lead. In the second, Tyler Moore drove home Matthew Fears with an RBI double putting the Bombers on top 2-0. Moore finished the game with 3 hits including a pair of doubles.

Kyle Slack (L 0-4) was sharp through the first two innings as he recorded five strikeouts. Slack allowed two runs in the third before trouble came in the fourth. Waterloo scored eight runs in the fourth to go ahead 10-2. The Bombers issued seven walks in the frame. Battle Creek responded with a pair of runs in the home half of the fourth as Cam Gibson singled home Moore and Joe Serrano with the bases loaded making the score 10-4, but that would be as close as the Bombers would get. Cam Wysocki pitched very well in his return to Battle Creek working four scoreless innings of relief and striking out four.

J.T. Miller started for Waterloo and gave them four innings before being relieved by Drasen Johnson (W 4-0) . The two teams will conclude the series tomorrow night.
