ROCHESTER, MN – The La Crosse Loggers started the second half of the 2018 NWL season with a bang on Thursday night by sweeping the Rochester Honkers by scores of 7-6 and 6-1 at Mayo Field in Rochester.<\/p>\n

The two clubs picked up a suspended game that was scoreless from the night before in the second inning.\u00a0 The game remained scoreless until the fourth when Mike Rothenberg (Duke) hit a one-out solo home run and then the Loggers added two more that inning on a two-RBI single off the bat of second baseman Bryce Blaum (Texas A & M) to give La Crosse a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n

But Rochester answered right back with two runs in the fifth off of Loggers pitcher Jon Meyerring (Miami-OH), who took the ball in the second inning when the game resumed.<\/p>\n

A Nick Lewis (South Alabama) RBI single in the bottom of the fifth would put the Loggers up 4-2 but Rochester continued to push as they would score once in the sixth and three more times in the seventh to take a 6-4 lead.<\/p>\n

La Crosse found a way to create a rally in the eighth however.\u00a0 After two men reached base, Braiden Ward (Washington) layed down a perfect sacrifice bunt and his speed forced an errant throw to allow one run to score and put runners at second and third.\u00a0 Shane McGuire then followed with a sacrifice fly to knot the score at at six before Harrison Freed (Butler) delivered a two-out RBI double to give the Loggers a 7-6 lead and Stephen Knapp (Bellevue) retired the side in order to secure the game one victory.<\/p>\n

Game 2 ….<\/p>\n

There was not as much suspense in the second game, a seven-inning affair, as it was all Loggers throughout.<\/p>\n

A Rothenberg RBI sacrifice fly in the first scored McGuire to give the Loggers an early 1-0 edge, but Rochester quickly answered with one run in the bottom of the first.<\/p>\n

After that, Loggers started Eric Mock (Penn State) settled in and quieted the Honkers bats as he would go on to toss five inning of one-run baseball and strike out 10 batters to earn the victory in his first start of the summer.<\/p>\n

The Lumbermen would bust the game open in the third.\u00a0 After a Harrison Freed RBI sac fly put La Crosse up by a run, Steve Mann (Duke) would come up three batters later with two men on and blast a home run way over the left field wall to give the Loggers a 5-1 lead.\u00a0 Kyson Donahue (Arizona) would follow with a single and then advance to second on an error before Jarron Silva (UCLA) would single him home to push the lead to 6-1, a lead that would stand for the remainder of the game.<\/p>\n

Colton Larkins (Oral Roberts) would come on to toss the final two, scoreless innings to secure the victory.<\/p>\n

The Loggers will now return home to host the Eau Claire Express in the first of a two-game set at Copeland Park on Friday night.\u00a0 Gates open at 6 p.m. for a Friday Night Fish Fry and Happy Hour with Howie’s on La Crosse before the first pitch at 7:05 p.m.\u00a0 A fireworks extravaganza will follow the ballgame, presented by Edward’s Mini-Storage.<\/p>\n
