Hot Rods Rout Loons, Win Sixth Straight

Bowling Green, KY - To begin a four-game series with the Great Lakes Loons, the Bowling Green Hot Rods increased their season-long win streak to six with a 12-3 rout on Friday night at Bowling Green Ballpark.
For the fifteenth time this year, the Hot Rods scored double-digit runs in a game, plating 12 runs on 15 hits.
The Hot Rods were led by shortstop Lucius Fox along with outfielder Jesus Sanchez and infielder Mike Brosseau with three hits apiece.
Fox scored three runs while Sanchez drove in four runs while scoring twice and Brosseau plated three runs on a pair of run-scoring doubles.
