The Lake Erie Monarchs have had a tough time getting the bats going lately, but not on Wednesday. The Monarchs were able to jump out to an 8-0 lead by the fifth inning, which propelled them to an eventual 13-8 win against the Xenia Scouts. Right out of the gate, the Monarchs bats were hot, scoring 6 runs in the first inning. Matt Dittman had a 2 RBI single, Ryan Clark had a 2 RBI double, and Ryan McMillan had an RBI single. The game looked in the Monarchs’ control until the seventh when Xenia clawed their way back to make it an 8-6 game due to some defensive blunders by the Monarchs. But it wasn’t enough, the Monarchs added 3 runs in the seventh and 2 more in the eighth to make give the Monarchs the 13-8 victory. Chad Yinger started the contest for the Monarchs, throwing 5 2/3 innings of no-hit ball before Brance Rivera got on base with a single. Xenia's first hit came on the second of two straight bunt attempts, with the Scouts down 8-0 with two outs in the sixth. It proved to be a good decision though for the Scouts who were able to generate 3 runs with those 2 outs. Yinger went a full 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks. Cody McPherson pitched the final 3 innings, allowing 5 runs (3 earned), on 6 hits and 4 walks. Line Score

The Monarchs had 12 hits, 4 of which were from lead-off batter Kevin Gillespie, but things just never went their way. It was a rough day from the start when Grand Lake jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the third inning.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Monarchs were able to score 1 run on a single by Gillespie who drove in Ross Brunello. Brunello doubled earlier in the inning and was advanced to third on a Ryan Clark single.
The Monarchs also were able to put runs on the board in the seventh when Matt Dittman singled to center, followed up by a Doug Schumacher single. Both runners were able to advance on a wild pitch putting runners on second and third for Ryan Clark who grounded out, scoring Dittman from third. Gillespie then singled again, driving in Schumacher to bring the final score to 11-3.
