In tonight’s game featuring the Rochester Honkers and the Mankato MoonDogs, the Honkers were able to stifle the red-hot MoonDogs of late, and win 6-2.

The scoring started early for both teams as the Honkers took the lead in the top of the first only to give up 2 runs in the bottom half of the inning. In the second, the Honkers returned the favor scoring two more of their own, and never relinquished the lead.

Aaron Grant remained unstoppable both at the plate and in the field. Grant showed why he was selected to this year’s All-Star team going 2-3 at the plate and throwing out a runner from centerfield in the top of the seventh. Grants one-hopper to Jeremy McIntire was just in time as McIntire was hit hard, but held onto the ball.

Jonny Ash was 2-4 for the second consecutive night. Shaun Corning picked up his third loss on the season while Owen Hoegh for Rochester got his third win.

The same two teams will meet tomorrow night at the Frank; game time is 7:05
