The Motorboaters would get a run back thanks to a Honker error in the outfield, but Rochester still led 4-1 after three innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the seventh, Rochester\u2019s Mattie Thomas (San Fransico) scored on a wild pitch to extend the lead back out to four, but that\u2019s all the scoring the Honkers would do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Motorboaters still trailing by four in the bottom of the eighth, the Larks sent 13 men to the plate and scored seven runs on seven hits, with Rochester having to use three different arms to get out of the frame. Thanks to Benjamin Rosengard\u2019s (Undecided), or should we say, Captain Clucth\u2019s, two-run single with two outs, the Motorboaters took their first lead of the night at 8-5<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ryan Taylor (Dallas Richland) would shut the door, going 1-2-3 in the ninth to secure his first save of the summer and help the Motorboaters snap a five-game losing streak and take game one of this two-game series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the mound for the Missouri River, Jacob Arndt (Missouri &#8211; St. Louis) got the win out of relief, moving to 2-0. Despite Cole Seward\u2019s (Colorado Mesa) incredible 6.1 innings for Rochester to start, he would get the no-decision, and John Largespada (Los Angeles Harbor) would get the loss after losing the lead in the eighth. The <\/span><b>Metro Area Fastest Pitch of the Game <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">came in the ninth inning when Larks closer Ryan Taylor hit 89 mph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><b>Fetzer Electric Play of the Game<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the field during the top of the fifth inning when Motorboaters&#8217; centerfielder, Brock Kleszcz (UC San Diego), made a spectacular diving grab in the left-center field gap to save a run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Motorboaters and Honkers will meet for one final time this summer on Friday at 7:05 p.m. CT.
