June 23, 2009 - LOVES PARK, Ill. – Greg Alexander was 4-for-5 with a home run on Tuesday as the Evansville Otters beat the Rockford RiverHawks, 7-4.
Jason James was 3-for-5 with a home run and extended his hitting streak to 21 games, in front of a sellout crowd of 3,366 at Road Ranger Stadium.
Alexander broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the top of the first inning and the Otters led the rest of the way. Ross McCoy put Rockford on the board with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the inning. McCoy extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
