The win broke a five-game losing streak for the Honkers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBoth offenses were held to just one hit each through three innings. The St. Cloud starting pitcher, <strong>Nick Bush (LSU)<\/strong>, was taken out of the game two batters into the fourth inning. <strong>Will Reese (LSU)<\/strong> inherited a runner on first base who reached on a leadoff walk. Reese walked the first two batters he faced to load the bases with one out. He hit <strong>Chris Ceballos (Orange Coast) <\/strong>with a pitch, scoring <strong>Zach Zubia (Texas)<\/strong>. <strong>Griffin Neuer (Bellarmine) <\/strong>followed with a single to left field, scoring <strong>Konnor Zickefoose (UC Irvine)<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSt. Cloud responded in the top of the fifth inning by loading the bases with one out. The Rochester starting pitcher, <strong>Manny Armendariz (Doane)<\/strong>, was able to get out of the inning on consecutive fly outs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRochester added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning after loading the bases again with one out. Ceballos drove in his second run of the game by drawing a walk and scoring Zubia. Neuer singled in to center field, bringing <strong>Ryan Fitzpatrick (UC Irvine) <\/strong>in to score.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFitzpatrick returned in the sixth inning to hit a two-run home run to left field, his sixth of the season. The home run gave the Honkers a 6-0 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSt. Cloud grabbed a run off the Honkers&rsquo; bullpen in the top of the eighth inning. A leadoff walk by <strong>Cameron Eden (California) <\/strong>led to a run on a passed ball.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Joe Wills (Cal. State Fullerton) <\/strong>pitched a scoreless ninth inning in his Honker debut to seal the win.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tArmendariz earned the win (2-0) for the Honkers. He pitched seven scoreless innings on three hits while striking out five batters and walking one.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBush took the loss (0-1) for the Rox. He pitched 3.1 innings, giving up one run on one hit while striking out six batters and walking two.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRochester heads on the road Thursday night to finish the series against the Rox. First pitch from Joe Faber Field is 7:05 p.m. <strong>Hunter Sullivan (Louisville) <\/strong>is scheduled to pitch for the Honkers. Sullivan is 3-1 this season with a 3.52 ERA.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers&rsquo; next home game is Friday, July 7, against the Eau Claire Express. It will be American Dairy Association Night at the ballpark, with the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> Annual Cow Milking Contest held on the field. It is a Safe Ride Friday, presented by Yellow Cab of Rochester.
