Juan Galván was tagged with the loss. The second-place Hot Rods have won 6 in a row.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Hot Rods grabbed the lead when Harper hit his 3rd home run of the season. The 3-run home run off Juan Galván made it 8-6, Bowling Green.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Harper. "You've got to get results."
