  Bowling Green, KY  - In front of a crowd of more than 5,000 at Bowling Green Ballpark, Phil Wunderlich made Hot Rods history with a pair of doubles and a home run on Friday night.  Wunderlich&amp;#39;s pair of doubles pushed him past Tim Beckham&amp;#39;s single-season record of 33 set during the 2009 season.  Despite that production, which included a pair of runs batted in, the Hot Rods (36-31, 77-59) dropped their final home game of the regular season, 11-5, to the Dayton Dragons (46-21, 81-56).  Bowling Green dropped two of three in the series, but finished the home stand with a 4-3 record.  They wrapped up the home portion of the regular season with a league-best 48 victories entering the final road trip of the regular season.]]></content:encoded>
