Both teams combined for five home runs and eight extra-base hits. 15 of the original 18 starters on both team scored at least one run. <strong>Johnathan Fleek (Western Illinois)<\/strong> drove in a season-high four runs on two hits. <strong>Michael Michalak (DMACC) <\/strong>batted five-for-seven in both games combined, driving in five runs and scoring four himself.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTen runs crossed the plate for Rochester and Waterloo in the first inning. <strong>Jay Schuyler (San Diego) <\/strong>doubled with one out, scoring <strong>Dalton Hurd (Seattle) <\/strong>from second base. <strong>Tyler Stover (UL Lafayette)<\/strong> followed with a single to right field, bringing in Schuyler.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t13 Honkers batted in the bottom of the first inning, scoring eight runs on four two-RBI singles. The Waterloo starting pitcher, <strong>Nathan Walker (San Diego)<\/strong>, was not able to make it out of the inning. He gave up all eight runs while only retiring one batter. Walker took the loss (3-2) for the Bucks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBoth pitching staffs settled in, throwing seven consecutive scoreless half-innings, but the offenses heated back up towards the end of the game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers looked to extend their lead in the fifth inning. <strong>Michael Michalak (DMACC) <\/strong>singled to left field, scoring <strong>Zeke Pinkham (Louisville)<\/strong> from second base. <strong>Johnathan Fleek (Western Illinois) <\/strong>followed with a two-run home run to left field, his first of the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWaterloo cut back into the Rochester lead with four runs in the sixth inning on a double by <strong>Keaton Presley (Central Arkansas) <\/strong>and a home run by <strong>Jay Schuyler (San Diego)<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Ryan Fitzpatrick (UC Irvine)<\/strong> answered with his own two-run home run, his fourth of the season. Fleek drove in two more runs on a two-out double to center field.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Bucks made a serious effort to come back in the seventh inning, scoring five runs on three hits, but were not able to overcome the nine-run deficit.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Eddie Mathis (Bellarmine)<\/strong> earned the win (3-3) for the Honkers. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up five runs on 11 hits. He struck out four batters and walked two.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBoth teams will face off again tomorrow night in Waterloo. First pitch from Riverfront Stadium is 6:35 p.m. <strong>Hunter Sullivan (Louisville) <\/strong>is scheduled to start for the Honkers. Sullivan is 3-0 this season with a 1.80 ERA.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers next home game is Saturday, July 1 against the Willmar Stingers.
