It was a lead they held until a four-run eighth from the visiting Hot Tots fired them in front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Honkers responded in the ninth with an RBI single from Jake Jackson, who had another two-hit day to go along with three RBIs. That set up Joel Roberts with the bases loaded, whose grand slam improved the Honkers&#8217; record to 3-4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luke Stulka and Josh Outlaw both impressed in their debuts. Stulka finished 3-,5 and Outlaw finished with a strong 2-5 performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allan Camarillo added another stellar performance to his impressive array with a 3-5 night, including a pair of doubles and a pair of RBIs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Honkers are back in action on Wednesday, July 9th, at Mayo Field for a doubleheader against the Bismarck Larks.
