Drew Gagnon (Long Beach State) arrived to Rochester, MN for the first time Wednesday, and on Thursday pitched the Rochester Honkers to a much needed victory. Gagnon made his debut for Rochester, starting on the hill against Mankato a day after the Honkers lost a pair of games to the MoonDogs (one a previous suspended game). Gagnon tossed six innings, allowing only three hits and one run while fanning nine. He departed the contest with a 4-1 lead and the Honkers were able to hold on for a 4-3 wins.
