Peoria Chiefs News Release
DAVENPORT, IA - Just a day after the Chiefs held Quad Cities to two hits in a win on Wednesday, the River Bandits returned the favor on Thursday, limiting the Chiefs to two hits in a 5-0 victory.
Quad Cities starter Hunter Patteson led the way with a dominant outing. The left-hander allowed only one hit over 6 2/3 innings and lowered his ERA to 0.39 while improving to 2-0. He teamed up with the bullpen to strike out nine Chiefs batters and complete the two-hit shutout.
The River Bandits opened the scoring in the first inning when Callen Moss delivered a two-out RBI single to give Quad Cities a 1-0 lead. In the third inning, Canyon Brown and Daniel Vazquez singled ahead of Bryan Gonzalez, who lined a double to right field to score Brown and made it 2-0. Moss followed with a sacrifice fly to center, which brought home Vazquez to stretch the lead to 3-0.
One inning later, the Bandits added another. After two more singles, a throwing error by Chiefs third baseman Johnfrank Salazar allowed a fourth run to score.
Peoria's bullpen helped keep the game within reach. Right-handers Jawilme Ramirez, Zach Showalter, and Tanner Jacobson combined to allow just one run on one hit over the final 4 1/3 innings, striking out four.
The final blow came in the seventh inning, when Moss singled and back-to-back walks loaded the bases. Carter Frederick then drew a walk to force in a run and extended the lead to 5-0.
Zach Levenson gave the Chiefs a late spark with a two-out single in the ninth inning, but the offense couldn't find momentum. Relievers southpaw Nate Ackenhausen and right-hander A.J. Causey closed out the game for Quad Cities, whiffing five of the seven batters they faced.
Game four of the series is set for Friday night at 6:30 p.m. Right-hander Jose Davila is expected to start for Peoria.
