BOWLING GREEN, KY - The Bowling Green Hot Rods earned a 6-1 win over the Peoria Chiefs this evening at Bowling Green Ballpark. The Hot Rods lead the best of five series two games to one. CF Carl Chester tripled in two runs in the second inning and LHP Resly Linares threw six strong innings in the win.
Chester hit the triple to right-center with one out in the second, scoring DH Trey Hair and 1B Justin Bridgman . Chester then scored when 2B Vidal Brujan hit an RBI single back up the middle, making it 4-0 Hot Rods. It was Bowling Green's largest offensive inning of this postseason.
