A magnificent effort by Matt Zielinski carried the Evansville Otters (13-5) to a 4-0 win over the Florence Freedom (11-8) on Friday at Bosse Field.

The Evansville Otters got the win thanks in large part to Zielinski's dominant, 15-strikeout performance. The Evansville Otters' pitcher tossed nine innings of shutout ball and allowed only one hit.

Nick Schwaner racked up two RBIs on two hits for the Evansville Otters. He singled in the first inning and homered in the eighth inning.

Jason Wilson (1-2) took the loss for the Florence Freedom. He lasted just seven innings, walked one, struck out four, and allowed four runs.
