A Close game early, the Bucks broke the game open with a nine-run sixth inning. A pair of walks to open the inning set up a big inning for the Bucks, who scored on a Blaine Marchman (Georgia St) hit-by-pitch and two-run throwing error. The Bucks piled on with a run scoring double by Emi Gonzalez (Glendale) and single by Daniel Irisarri. (Nova Southwestern) All told, the Bucks sent 12 hitters to the plate, recording five hits.<\/p>\n<p>Waterloo opened the scoring in the game\u2019s first inning on an error and wild pitch, but Rochester took the lead in the fourth on an Eric Rataczak (Post Grad) two-run double, scoring Marco Castillo (Claremont) and Jordan Stevens. (Kent St) It was Rataczak\u2019s second double in as many nights. The Honker lead did not hold, however, as back-to-back inning opening singles set the stage for a go-ahead three-run home run by Aaron Treloar and the Bucks never looked back. (Glendale)<\/p>\n<p>The Honkers chipped away at the deficit, scoring twice in the sixth on Jordan Stevens and Otto Grimm (Minnesota) singles, and again in the seventh cashing in on a Ryan Thibert (Chico St) double. Rochester mounted a three-run rally in the ninth with the help of four straight walks, but the middle-innings deficit was too steep to overcome.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound Jordan Nelson (Dubuque) \u00a0records the win in relief and Brenden Medoro (Fairleigh Dickinson) gets the loss for the Honkers. Evan O\u2019Toole gave the Honkers four-plus innings of 1-earned run ball with six strikeouts in his start.<\/p>\n<p>With the loss, Rochester drops to 2-1 on the young season, awaiting a rematch with the Bucks in Waterloo tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>by Nick DeLuca\/\/ Nick is in his first season as a Broadcasting and Media relations intern for the Rochester Honkers.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off two straight wins to open the season, the Honkers suffered a 14-8 setback to the Waterloo Bucks.
