Higginbotham K's 11 En Route to 4-1 Bowsers Win
The Columbus Bowsers got a rain-soaked win over the Lake Elsinore Storm.

Pat Higginbotham never let the Storm get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his cutter, to pitch the Bowsers to a win, 4-1. The losses continue to mount for Lake Elsinore, which has now dropped 7 in a row.

Higginbotham, the winner, is now 5-5. In 7 innings of work, he gave up no runs on 1 hit, while collecting 11 Ks. He essentially shut down the Lake Elsinore offense.

"Pat was a handful," said Lake Elsinore manager Alex Archila.
