Copley lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Aurora, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Monday's matchup. The Indians blew past the Greenmen 11-3 on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Indians considering their two-run performance the game before.
Jack Yurechko and Evan Chmielewski were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Yurechko struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Chmielewski tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. Yurechko has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. At bat, Yurechko got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs, while Chmielewski went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one double. That double was Chmielewski's first of the season.
