Baseball: Captains shut down by Hawks 3-0


Mike Bolsinger tossed seven scoreless innings on Saturday night, limiting Lake County to just three hits as South Bend shutout the Captains 3-0.

The Silver Hawks scored two runs in the second inning, the first came following a single by Jhoan Pimental when Chase Burnette could not handle the relay throw from center allowing Matt Helm to score. Pimentel scored from third later in the inning on a wild pitch from Danny Salazar to make it 2-0.

Yazy Arbelo hit his league leading 30th homerun of the season in the third off Kirk Wetmore. The solo shot put South Bend in front 3-0.

Bolsinger (6-6) picked up the win working the seven frames, three hits, no runs, no walks and seven strike outs. Jeremy Erben picked up his sixth save of the season working two perfect innings of relief. Danny Salazar in his Captains return took the loss allowing two runs, one earned in two innings of work, walking one and hitting a batter.

Lake County and South Bend resume the four game series on Sunday afternoon at The Cover at 2:00PM. The Captains will start RHP Jordan Cooper (2-7) against RHP Jeff Shields (8-12) for the Silver Hawks. Catch all the action AM 970 WFUN or online at captainsbaseball.com.
