Indianapolis Bats Go Silent in 6-0 Loss
The Sandusky Seagulls beat the Indianapolis Eagles, 6-0, at Seagull Park. Starting pitcher Steve Pikula was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The win moves Sandusky to a record of 2-2.

The Eagles had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Seagulls going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old catcher Malachi Smith came to the plate. Smith hit a 2-run double on a full count fastball from Indianapolis hurler Travis Salopek. It was Smith's 1st double of the year.

Smith said his team "played with determination."
