A late charge from Rochester was not enough as an early furry from the Ontario club spurred them to their second win of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Honkers struggled to get the bats going early as the Border Cats rode a torrid start from Makaio Cisneros to grab a 7-0 lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rochester responded with a strong sixth inning, plating four runs to bring them within shouting distance. The Border Cats responded with six runs over the three innings to rebuild their lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite a furious rally in the ninth, the Honkers were unable to overcome the deficit, falling by a final score of 14-9. Keegan Landis was a standout for the Honkers with 2 hits to go along with an RBI and a stolen base.<\/span><\/p>\n
