The Bolts cut it to a one-run game in the fourth on a pair of doubles. Brynn Martinez started the rally with a two-bagger and scored on Donivan Williams’ extra base knock.

However, Evansville pulled away in the later innings. Josh Allen recorded a sacrifice fly in the seventh. In the eighth, an RBI single from Gary Mattis made it a three-run game. Mattis later scored on a wild pitch.

Kenny Mathews (6-9) took the loss for the Bolts, allowing three runs in six innings. Ryan O’Reilly (5-3) earned the win, throwing seven innings of two-run ball.
