Phillips and McDonald each homer again while Thurman matches career-high with seven innings

DAVENPORT, Iowa. (July 29, 2014) - Brett Phillips and Chase McDonald each homered while Andrew Thurman overcame a rough first inning to match a career-high with seven frames as the Quad Cities River Bandits won their fourth in a row and ninth of 10 by bopping the Clinton LumberKings 7-5 in front of 3,270 at Modern Woodmen Park.

Each of the first four LumberKings (13-24 second half, 43-62 overall) to come to the plate in the first all singled off Thurman (5-6), with Justin Seager's base hit bringing in two runs to give Clinton an early 2-0 advantage. After Thurman induced a 4-6-3 double play, Christian Carmichael doubled in Chantz Mack to make it 3-0. Thurman would give up four runs on seven hits in his seven frames, walking two and striking out seven.

The Bandits (21-16, 56-50), though, responded immediately when Phillips rocketed the second pitch from Clinton starter Edwin Diaz (3-7) way over the right-center field wall for his 11^th home run of the season and seventh during the month of July. It marked the fourth straight game with a roundtripper for the right fielder, who went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored.

Quad Cities would take the 4-3 lead in the bottom of the second when Chase McDonald, who was 3-for-4 with three RBIs, laced a two-run single off Diaz to bring home Brett Booth and Thomas Lindauer. After Diaz got A.J. Reed to foul out to the catcher Carmichael, Clinton went to the bullpen to bring in Aaron Brooks. Diaz lasted a season-low 1.2 innings, giving up four runs, three earned, on three hits with two walks and a strikeout to take the loss, Clinton's sixth in a row.

McDonald was not be finished. With one out and the score 6-3 River Bandits in the fourth, he crushed a fastball from Brooks over the center field wall for his 11^th homer of the year and sixth of July, giving the River Bandits two players with at least six home runs in a month since Rainel Rosario and Matt Adams completed the feat in August of 2010. Quad Cities has bopped 27 home runs in the month of July; the team's most since hitting 30 in May of 2012.

Frederick Tiburcio pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save of the season. The victory gave manager Omar Lopez his 137^th victory with the Quad Cities, the 10^th-most in team history, and pushed the Bandits six games above .500 for the first time this season.

Quad Cities is scheduled to send Chris Lee (6-5, 3.74 ERA) to the mound tomorrow night against Clinton's Seon-Gi Kim (0-2, 2.16).

DAVENPORT, IA - On July 28, 2014, Michael Anthony McDaniel, age 46, formerly of Davenport, Iowa, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge John A. Jarvey to 84 months imprisonment, after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. McDaniel was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release following the term of imprisonment, and to pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund. McDaniel will also be required to register as a sex offender.

In March 2011, a member of the Iowa Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Dewitt, Iowa, Police Department accessed a shared folder and downloaded child pornography videos and images identified as belonging to McDaniel. On April 25, 2011, a search of McDaniel's residence was conducted pursuant to a search warrant. Officers found and seized computer equipment and hard drives possessed by McDaniel. McDaniel admitted to possession of this computer equipment and to the knowledge that the involved hard drives contained sexually explicit images of minors. McDaniel downloaded images of child pornography found using a file sharing software and as part of a computer repair business. A forensic examination of the hard drives, seized by the Davenport, Iowa, Police Department, found over 50 videos and 46 images of child pornography.

This case was investigated by the Iowa Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Dewitt, Iowa, Police Department, the Davenport, Iowa, Police Department and the case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
