He rebounded well after a rough start to the season by pitching six strong innings, giving up one run with eight strikeouts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBoth starting pitchers got off to hot starts in the game, holding each offense scoreless in the first three innings with a combined eight strikeouts. <strong>Mathis <\/strong>retired four batters in a row during the span.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEau Claire put a run on the board on two hits in the fourth inning. With a runner on second base, <strong>Robby Campillo (New Mexico)<\/strong> hit a ground ball to the pitcher. The ball bounced off the glove of <strong>Mathis <\/strong>and rolled out of reach of the Honker shortstop, allowing <strong>Tyrus Greene (California) <\/strong>to score for the Express.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Riley Johnson (North Dakota State) <\/strong>held the Honkers&rsquo; offense to only two hits through five innings, but the Flock broke free with six runs in the fifth inning. Twelve batters came to the plate in the inning, earning six hits and five walks to take a commanding 6-1 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEau Claire clawed back into the game against the Rochester bullpen. The Express put together four consecutive hits in the inning, including doubles by <strong>Beau Capanna (New Mexico)<\/strong> and <strong>Zach Ashford (Fresno State<\/strong>). Three runs crossed the plate, but that was as far as Eau Claire would get. <strong>Spencer Johnson (Wayne State) <\/strong>shut down the Eau Claire offense after the seventh inning, finishing with three strikeouts in two innings pitched.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Cam Adams (North Park) <\/strong>extended the Honker lead to three with a RBI single in the bottom of the eighth, scoring <strong>Weston Hatten (Nevada)<\/strong>. That set up <strong>Garrett Cobb (Seminole State) <\/strong>for his first save of the season. He pitched a scoreless ninth with one strikeout.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Johnson <\/strong>took the loss (0-1) for Eau Claire. He lasted 4.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Both pitching staffs recorded double-digit strikeouts in the game, but Eau Claire surrendered 12 walks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers stay at home for another night before heading back on the road. They will face the La Crosse Loggers for the first time this season at Mayo Field Friday night. Tomorrow is Fly RST Night with 106.9 KROC and a Safe Ride Friday, presented by Yellow Cab of Rochester. <strong>Hunter Sullivan (Louisville) <\/strong>is scheduled to make his Mayo Field debut on the mound for the Honkers. Gates open at 6:00, first pitch is 7:05 pm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/northwoods.bbstats.pointstreak.com\/boxscore.html?gameid=381969\">Box Score<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n\t<em>###<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>The Northwoods League is the proven leader in the development of elite<\/em>&nbsp;<em>college baseball players.
