INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS (AAA)
Result: Indianapolis 9, Durham 6
Starting Pitcher: Justin Wilson (7.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 3 K, 0 HR)
Top Hitter: Matt Hague (4-for-5, 3B, HR, 3 RBI)
Notes: Justin Wilson (3-3, 2.36) had a great start tonight, taking a no hitter in to the seventh inning, and finishing up with seven shutout frames, allowing just the one hit, five walks, and striking out three. The Indianapolis bullpen wasn’t as effective, as Justin Thomas (4.67) and Blaine Boyer (27.00) combined to allow six runs in 1.1 innings. Tim Wood (4.50) closed things out, getting the final two outs in the ninth.
The offense was just as good as Wilson, led by Matt Hague (.285). Hague went 4-for-5 with a triple and a homer, his third of the year. The home run was a three run shot, and part of a five run inning in the top of the eighth, which gave the Indians the run support they needed to win. John Bowker (.333) went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs. Josh Harrison (.347) went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Chase d’Arnaud (.242) went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.
