The Loggers added another in the fourth via a solo homer from Kaden Sundgren.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rochester tied the game in the bottom half when Grant MacArthur hit an RBI double, then Andrew Cain drove in another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game didn\u2019t remain tied for long as La Crosse retook the lead in the fifth, scoring twice thanks in part to Mitch Wood\u2019s solo homer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the seventh, Paul Schoenfeld re-tied the game with a two-run homer over the left field wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game remained tied thanks to Kyle Miller\u2019s stellar outing out of the bullpen where he went 4.2 shutout innings, giving up just three hits while striking out five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the bottom of the ninth and two outs, Brendan O\u2019Sullivan stood at third and Blaine French sent his third hit of the game into right-center to end the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this win, the Honkers\u2019 slim playoff hopes are still alive.
