The bottom of the Honkers&rsquo; lineup stepped up in a big way. Batters six through nine batted a combined 7-for-16 (.438) with four RBIs and four runs scored. <strong>Zach Zubia (Texas) <\/strong>earned two hits in the game to extend his league-leading on-base streak to 23 games.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMathis<strong> <\/strong>had arguably the best start by a Honker starting pitcher this season. He earned the win (2-3) for the Honkers after pitching seven innings, giving up one unearned run on one hit. Mathis struck out eight batters with only one walk.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter a clean first inning, the bottom of the Honkers&rsquo; lineup got the engine started in the second inning. <strong>Konnor Zickefoose (UC Irvine) <\/strong>singled with two outs, scoring the leadoff runner <strong>Weston Hatten (Nevada) <\/strong>from second base. Following a <strong>Chris Ceballos (Orange Coast) <\/strong>single, <strong>Ethan Ibarra (St. Cloud State) <\/strong>drove in Zickefoose<strong> <\/strong>for the second run of the game. Ceballos was tagged out between second and third base to end the inning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Justin Evans (Columbus State) <\/strong>singled to lead off the bottom of the third inning for the Express. A bunt moved Evans<strong> <\/strong>to second base and a stolen base landed him at third base<strong>. Mathis <\/strong>was close to getting out of the inning without any damage, but Evans<strong> <\/strong>came in to score Eau Claire&rsquo;s only run on an error by Honkers&rsquo; catcher Chris Ceballos.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOverall, Mathis was nearly unstoppable on the mound. After the Eau Claire run in the third inning, Mathis<strong> <\/strong>retired 14 of the next 15 batters to finish his start. He struck out seven batters in his final four innings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Eau Claire starting pitcher <strong>Lane Ramsey (Oklahoma) <\/strong>kept the Rochester offense quiet for three straight innings, but the Honkers added to their lead in the sixth inning. <strong>Michael Michalak (DMACC) <\/strong>singled with one out and two runners on base, scoring <strong>Weston Hatten (Nevada).&nbsp;<\/strong>Zickefoose<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>tried to drive in another run with a single to right field, but the Express right fielder threw out <strong>Garrett Calvert (Cypress) <\/strong>at home plate for the second out. A fly out ended the inning, limiting the damage to one run.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRochester added three more runs in the eighth inning off the Eau Claire bullpen. Michalak<strong> <\/strong>was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. He scored two batters later on a single by <strong>Chris Ceballos<\/strong>. <strong>Morgan McCullough (Oregon) <\/strong>extended the Honkers&rsquo; lead to five runs with a one-out, two-run single.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Kyle Ferderer (North Dakota State) <\/strong>closed out the game for the Honkers. He pitched the final two innings in relief. He only surrendered two hits and struck out two batters.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Lane Ramsey <\/strong>took the loss (0-2) for the Express. Ramsey pitched 6.2 innings, giving up three runs on seven hits. He struck out three batters with four walks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers will return home tomorrow night to face the Express on Friday, June 23<sup>rd<\/sup>. It will be Advanced Financial Consultants Night at the ballpark. Bolder Options will be hosting a 50\/50 raffle. It will also be a Safe Ride Friday, presented by Yellow Cab of Rochester.&nbsp;<b>Hunter Sullivan (Louisville) <\/b>is scheduled to start for the Honkers. Sullivan is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA this season.
