The Rochester Honkers (30-32) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over the Duluth Huskies (33-28) on Saturday night. Rochester looked like they were in control from the get-go, but Duluth stopped it quickly.
Duluth would score 14 unanswered runs and cruise to the 14-2 victory. Cole Seward (Colorado Mesa) only tossed two innings in his worst start of the year.
Devin Dodson (Colorado Springs) put up five goose eggs after giving up two runs in the first. The Duluth bullpen also helped the Honkers off balance as they dropped to 2-5 on the season series.
Tyler Leroy (Arizona Western) hit a three-run home run in the third inning to give the Huskies a 5-2 lead, and they never looked back.
The Honkers will be back in action on Sunday. First pitch is at 5:05 pm Eastern.
