The Honkers fell in game two to Bismarck on Saturday night 10-3.

Rochester started off the scoring with a two-run homer from Andrew Cain in the second, his first of the year. Past that, the Honkers offense mustered just one more run, a solo homer hit by Augusto Mungarrieta in the eighth.

Bryce Liechty had a solid outing out of the bullpen, going 3.2 innings and giving up just two earned runs. He inherited the bases loaded and one out in the sixth and induced an inning-ending double play.

The Honkers fell to 6-20 with this loss. Next up, they will host Minot starting tomorrow.
