EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Due to inclement weather in Avon Wednesday night, the Evansville Otters' series middle game at Lake Erie has been suspended in the top of the fifth inning, tied at 5-5.
The Crushers got things started quickly in the first with five runs on eight hits.
Evansville answered immediately with three runs in the top of the second. They followed three-straight one-out walks with a Jon Ponder two-run double and RBI groundout from Amani Jones.
The game leveled at 5-5 in the third when the Otters scored a pair on an RBI double from Marcos Gonzalez and a sacrifice fly RBI off the bat of LG Castillo.
In the top of the fifth, Evansville quickly got started with back-to-back singles from Logan Brown and Blake Robertson before action was paused due to rain. After about 20 minutes of delay time, the game was suspended.
