He drove in 2 runs. Merlin Penney notched his 2nd save of the season. The Hot Rods now own a record of 36-72.

Jose Medina, who is tied for 8th in the MID in doubles with 24, helped out the Bowling Green cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 2-run double. For the game, the left fielder went 1 for 4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Horvath.
