ROCHESTER, Minn. – Zach Serup pitched six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts as the Honkers won game two of the doubleheader against Bismarck.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rochester offense was stagnant until the sixth when they ignited for six runs, including RBIs from Tommy Eisenstat, Angel Cortez, and Keegan Landis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke Stulga continues to impress as he notched his first home run as a Honker in the seventh to tack on run number seven for Rochester. It capped off a day in which he hit 3-4, including a double, a home run, and a pair of RBIs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marcus Champagne earned his second save of the season, pitching the final three innings and allowing just one run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kai Caranto got in on the party with an RBI single of his own in the eighth.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a day to forget but a night to remember as the Honkers split Wednesday\u2019s doubleheader with the Bismarck Larks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Honkers will open a two-game series against the Eau Claire Express on Thursday at Mayo Field. Ian Regal (1-1) will make his eighth and final start as a Honker. The Express have not announced a starting pitcher.<\/span><\/p>\n
