The Honker offense collected seven hits in the game\u2019s first four innings but mustered only one hit in the final five frames.<\/p>\n<p>Rochester took the first lead of the game for a second straight night, loading the bases on back-to-back singles by Seth Betts (Crown College) and Alex Pimentel (Long Beach St) followed by a Jack Collette (San Jose St) walk. JJ Cruz (Cal St Fullerton) lifted a single into right to push across the game\u2019s first run. It was Cruz\u2019s second RBI on the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Honkers tacked on a run in the following inning, a Mac Horvath (North Carolina) one-out double put a runner in scoring position for Alex Pimentel, who drove home Horvath with his second hit of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Mankato would answer the two in the ballgame, cutting the Honker lead in half in the third on a Jacob Wilson (Grand Canyon) single. The Moondogs tied it in the sixth when a Jack Costello (San Diego) groundout scored Evan Berkey (Cal St Bakersfield).<\/p>\n<p>Rochester battled back to take the lead once again in the seventh, Mac Horvath delivered a bases loaded sacrifice fly to score J.J. Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>The Honkers held a one run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth but a walk, but a Cole Andavolgyi (Golden West) walk, Dustin Demeter (Hawaii) single, error, and wild pitch allowed Mankato to pull even. With the winning run at third and two-out, Evan Berkey punched a two-strike game winning single into right field.<\/p>\n<p>Rochester drops to 5-11, they host the Duluth Huskies tomorrow night at 6:35 from Mayo Field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>By Nick DeLuca\/\/ Broadcasting and Media Relations Intern<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rochester was unable to put the finishing touches on a game they led for most of the way, dropping the  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13712,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepagenewsslider","category-update-ticker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Honkers lose Heartbreaker in Walk-off Loss to Mankato - Rochester Honkers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rochester was unable to put the finishing touches on a game they led for most of the way, dropping the series finale after a two-run Mankato ninth.
