\"\"<\/a>WATERLOO, Iowa \u2013 Chris Peterson\u2019s seven shutout innings helped the Bucks to jump out in front, and Rochester could never recover.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Honkers managed only four hits over that time as they never solved the Peterson puzzle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maddox Haley opened the scoring for the Honkers with an RBI single in the eighth. Joel Roberts capitalized on an error to help bring Payton Knowles across.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two-run eighth cut the Waterloo lead to 6-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was too little, too late as the Bucks made it eight wins in nine against Rochester.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Honkers will get another crack at Waterloo tomorrow afternoon. At 12:05, the two will square off for the tenth time this year.<\/span><\/p>\n
