\n\tIt was a long day at C.O. Brown Stadium but a fun one as the Bombers sweep the Rochester Honkers with a 5-1 victory.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThere were two separate rain delays in the game, one previous to first pitch and one after the sixth inning.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Bombers received a great spot start from Dakota Mekkes (Michigan State), replacing Alex Hermeling (Louisiana-Monroe), who got the day off. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tMekkes went 5 innings, giving up one unearned run while walking one and finishing with nine strikeouts.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe bats played a huge role for the Bombers, as Brandon Van Horn (Dallas-Baptist) had a big day. Van Horn got on base four times with a double, a run scored and two RBIs.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tJustin Stawychny (Louisiana-Monroe) had a solid day at the plate as well, plating a big go-ahead double in the bottom half of the sixth inning.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Bombers never looked back, even after the second rain delay occurred, holding the Honkers to four hits in the game.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tBattle Creek will now head to Wisconsin for a four game road trip. First stop is in La Crosse, Wisconsin tomorrow night. Game time is 8:05 ET.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGame Notes:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe Bombers have gone three games now without giving up an earned run (27 innings). Adding in the Sunday night victory over the Madison Mallards, the Bombers have gone 34 straight innings without an earned run and look to continue that on the road in La Crosse.\n<\/p>\n \n\tDakota Mekkes <\/strong>5 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 9 K\n<\/p>\n \n\tBrandon Van Horn: <\/strong>2-3, 2B, BB, 2 RBI\n<\/p>\n \n\tMatt Dacey (Richmond):<\/strong> 2-4, 2B, R, RBI\n<\/p>\n \n\tJustin Stawychny:<\/strong> 2-4, 2B, RBI\n<\/p>\n \n\tLaz Rivera (Miami):<\/strong> 2-4, 2 2B, R, RBI\n<\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Pat Mullen It was a long day at C.O.
