\n\t(Rochester, Minn.)- The Rochester Honkers broke their five game losing streak on Sunday, topping the Waterloo Bucks 3-2 in Rochester. Josh Pigg (Hawaii) earned the win in a quality start, going six innings, allowing two runs on three hits. Jake Sparger (Louisville) was credited with the save. Zach Siggelkow (St. Cloud State) was charged with loss for Waterloo.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Honkers committed errors in Waterloo’s first three at-bats to start the game, allowing the Bucks to score one unearned and load the bases. Alex Schultz (Nebraska-Omaha) got Rochester out of the bind though, catching a fly ball in center for out number two and gunning down a runner at home for the 8-2 double play and keeping the deficit at 1-0.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Honkers wouldn’t stay down long though, as Schultz would score on an error by the Waterloo third basemen to tie the game. Matt Fiedler (Minnesota), who put the ball in play that scored Schultz, would advance to third on a balk and score on a sacrifice fly to left by Joe DeRoche-Duffin. Dempsey Grover (UC Santa Barbara) would bring in Mark Contreras (UC Riverside) with a double off the wall near centerfield to put the Honkers up 3-1.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWaterloo would plate a run in the fourth to make it 3-2, and they would threaten in the seventh, but Schultz would show off his arm again and throw out a runner trying to score from second on a single to center. That would be as close as the Bucks would get to a tying run, as the Honkers tied up the standings for the Scheels Highway 63 Cup a 2-2 with the win.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe win also helped the Honkers push for the playoffs. At 11-13 in the second half, they sit in sixth in the division. For the season overall, Rochester is 31-27 and hold a two game advantage over the Bucks for what is currently the final at large berth in the North division.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n
