INDIANAPOLIS – The Omaha Storm Chasers plated 10 runs in the top of the fifth to earn their third victory of the series over the Indianapolis Indians on Thursday night at Victory Field, 15-7.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Omaha Storm Chasers plated 10 runs in the top of the fifth to earn their third victory of the series over the Indianapolis Indians on Thursday night at Victory Field, 15-7.

With the game tied at two apiece, the Storm Chasers (26-32) brought 15 batters to the plate, scoring 10 runs on five hits and seven walks. Omaha’s big inning proved to be insurmountable for the Indians. The frame was highlighted by right fielder Tyler Gentry, who drove in four runs in the inning with an RBI groundout and bases-clearing double.

Omaha jumped out to an early two-run lead in their first plate appearance against Indians starter Osvaldo Bido (L ,3-4). Gentry hit a sacrifice fly – his first of five RBI on the night – and CJ Alexander lined an RBI single into left field to put the Storm Chasers in front.

Indianapolis (28-31) evened the score in the bottom of the third. Following singles by Nick Gonzales and Jared Triolo to begin the frame, Endy Rodríguez ripped a two-run double into left field. Rodríguez’s double extended his hitting streak to eight games.

Miguel Andújar extended his respective hitting streak to 13 games with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth. His hitting streak surpassed Josh Palacios’ 12-game hitting streak (4/23-5/7) for the longest by an Indians batter this season.

The Indians showed signs of life with a four-run sixth inning, cutting their deficit to five runs. The frame was highlighted by a two-run double by Cal Mitchell – who came into the game after Rodríguez was ejected in the top of the sixth inning. Omaha got three of the runs back with two in the seventh and another in the eighth inning.

Omaha starter Drew Parrish (W, 3-2) earned his third win of the season with 5.0 innings, allowing three runs on six hits.

Indians’ reliever Carmen Mlodzinski struck out a season-high batters in 2.0 innings.

The Indians and Storm Chasers continue their series on Friday at 7:05 PM ET at Victory Field. Left-hander Kent Emanuel (4-1, 6.08) will take the mound for the Indians against Omaha’s right-hander Max Castillo (0-6, 5.55).
