The Rochester Honkers saw their two game winning streak come to an end Tuesday night in Duluth as they fell 8-1 at the hands of the Huskies. Alex Evans (Barton CC) was charged with his first loss on the season, dropping his record to 4-1. Ryan Tapani (St. Olaf) earned the win for Duluth.

 

The Honkers struggled at the plate garnering only three hits on the night, two of which came from Dempsey Grover (UC Santa Barbara).

 

Duluth held a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning when Grover would break up Tapani’s perfect game and shutout with his first homerun of the year and bring the Honkers within two runs at 3-1.

 

The Huskies would put on two more runs in the bottom of the fifth for a 5-1 lead, and pile on three insurance runs in the seventh to force the series split with an 8-1 win. The Honkers took the first game of the series 7-6 on Monday.
