Hot Rods 5-2 Victors Over South Bend
Bowling Green pitcher Damian Clark had a large part in his team subduing the South Bend Cubs, 5-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Clark picked up the win for Bowling Green, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 12-10. Felipe Melle wrapped it up, recording his 25th save.

Bowling Green center fielder Daniel Moreno helped the Hot Rods go up, 3-2, in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Moreno hit a run-scoring single off South Bend pitcher Marcus Kerklaan.

"Nice win for us," said Clark. "Now we'll go after the next one."

Bowling Green now owns a record of 53-63.
