BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky (828newsNOW) — Although the Asheville Tourists only gave up two hits on Tuesday night, they fell to the Bowling Green Hots Rods 2-1 at Bowling Green Ballpark.

The Tourists (51-72) are playing in their final series of the 2025 season. Alejandro Nunez notched their only run of the night with a sacrifice fly in the third inning.

After Dylan Howard didn’t allow a hit as the Asheville starter with seven strikeouts in five innings, Luis Rodriguez (L, 0-3) surrendered a pair of runs in the sixth inning from a Hot Rods (65-60) triple to make the difference.

These two clubs will play again at 7:35 p.m. Wednesday.
