The Honkers stranded two runners on base in the ninth inning. <strong>Zach Zubia (Texas<\/strong>) hit his league-leading 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 12<sup>th<\/sup> home runs of the season. He also extended his on-base streak to 31 games.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers jumped to an early lead in the first inning. <strong>Zeke Pinkham (Louisville)<\/strong> walked on four pitches with one out. Zubia followed with a two-run home run.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWaterloo claimed the lead with four runs in the second inning. The Bucks loaded the bases with one out on two singles and a walk. <strong>Ian Nelson (Missouri) <\/strong>hit a two-run single, tying the game. The Rochester starting pitcher <strong>Hunter Sullivan (Louisville) <\/strong>walked two straight batters, allowing another run to score. <strong>Tyler Stover (UL Lafayette)<\/strong> followed with a single to left field.

He did not give up a hit in his outing while striking out three batters and walking three.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWaterloo scored an insurance run off Rochester reliever <strong>Jacob Green (Lake Erie)<\/strong> in the bottom of the eighth. With runners on first and third base and one out, <strong>Keaton Presley (Central Arkansas) <\/strong>was caught trying to steal second base. As it was happening, <strong>Dalton Hurd (Seattle) <\/strong>came in to score from third base.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers made a serious threat to the Waterloo lead in the ninth inning. <strong>Johnathan Fleek (Western Illinois) <\/strong>and Zubia walked before Waterloo made a pitching change.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile <strong>Zachary McLeod (Grand Canyon)<\/strong> was warming up on the mound, the game was put into a rain delay.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe rain cleared up, allowing the game to continue. Unfortunately, McLeod struck out the next two batters to end the game, earning his second save of the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Ryan Garcia (UCLA) <\/strong>earned the win (2-0) for the Bucks.
