Rockford teed off on Bullfrogs starter Jared Tobey (1-2) as they returned to Rivets Stadium for the first game of a four-game home stand.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Rivets were the first to strike. In the bottom of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, Brian Klein (Texas Tech) drove in Eric Cole (Arkansas) with an RBI double to give Rockford a 1-0 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGranath was in command early in the game, and he was perfect through five innings. In the bottom of the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, the Rivets&rsquo; offense finally gave him more run support.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, Tobey loaded the bases after walking Bren Spillane (Illinois), and a subsequent walk to JC DeMuri (Quincy) allowed Ryan Hutchinson (Illinois State) to come home. Eric Cole (Arkansas) and Nate Montgomery (South Suburban) each added two RBI and Neal Tyrell (Lewis) added an RBI of his own as the Rivets went up 8-0 with a seven-run 5<sup>th<\/sup>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGranath&rsquo;s perfect game bid finally ended in the 6<sup>th<\/sup>. Willie Bourbon (Northwestern) got a one-out liner just out of reach of the second baseman Klein, and Alonzo Jones (Vanderbilt) hit a long drive into the right field porch to cut the Rivets&rsquo; lead to 8-2.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRockford did not score for a few innings, and Green Bay finally showed some more life on offense in the 8<sup>th<\/sup>. After a Rockford fielding error, Jones added an RBI triple off Granath with two outs to cut the lead to 8-3 and end Granath&rsquo;s night.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRockford refused to let this one slip away, and added more runs of their own in the 8<sup>th<\/sup>. Cole drove in John Rave (Illinois State) with an RBI single and Tyrell brought Spillane home on a fielder&rsquo;s choice to extend the lead to 10-3.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBrian Wichman (Indianapolis) pitched the final 1 1\/3 innings in relief of Granath, and Rockford secured its third victory in three tries against Green Bay.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Rivets&rsquo; next game is tomorrow, Saturday, June 24 for First Responders Night, where local heroes and their families will be honored.
