Crushers complete the sweep

The Crushers completed a weekend beatdown of the Evansville Otters with a 15-4 win on Sunday.
Lake Erie came into the series leading the Frontier League in runs scored and added to that total.
During the three game series the Crushers scored 34 runs on 33 hits.
Lake Erie collected 19 hits on Sunday with all the starters getting had at least one hit. Eight batters scored at least one run and six guys had at least one RBI.
Arden McWilliams had himself a day going 4-for-5, including his 10th home run of the season. He also had five RBIs, which was a season-high.
On the mound, Alberto Rolon pitched six scoreless innings and won his third game of the season.
It was a great sign for Lake Erie because with 12 games left, Rolon will be in rotation for the rest of the way and will likely make two more starts.
The sweep was very important for the Crushers because they keep a 1.5 game lead on River City for the final Wild Card spot.
