Jordan Getzelman (Menlo College) started the inning off with a broken-bat double and Nick Walker&rsquo;s RBI double later in the inning gave the Bombers an early 1-0 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRockford couldn&rsquo;t get much going on offense, giving Barton no run support despite getting men on base in the 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, and 5<sup>th<\/sup> innings. Barton pitched well, but Battle Creek was able to slowly increase their lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGetzelman led off the 4<sup>th<\/sup> with a single, stole second base, and reached third on a balk by Barton. Walker then drove him in again for a 2-0 Battle Creek lead. In the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, Nick Vasic (McHenry County College) was able to reach base on a throwing error and scored all the way from second base on a groundout by Tom Stoffel (Virginia Tech) to increase Battle Creek&rsquo;s lead to 3-0.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRockford finally looked like they might inch closer in the bottom of the 5<sup>th<\/sup>. Patrick Loeffler (Indiana) and Trevor Paradoski (Texas Tech) singled to start the inning, but Johnson got Neal Tyrell (Lewis) to line right at the first baseman Stoffel, who stepped on first and threw to the short stop Alex Howard (Arkansas State) for a triple play to end the inning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRockford did manage a run in the 7<sup>th<\/sup>, when Paradoski drove in his college teammate Brian Klein with a two-out double to bring the Rivets within two runs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRockford looked like they might even tie the game in the 9<sup>th<\/sup>. Klein came home on a fielder&rsquo;s choice off the bat of Paradoski, and Loefller and Ryan Hutchinson (Indiana) both got on base with two outs. But Zach Rheams (Texas Tech) struck out to end the game and give Battle Creek their fourth one-run victory against Rockford this season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Rivets hit the road tomorrow for a short two-game trip to Battle Creek. They will return on Thursday, June 29 for a game against the Kenosha Kingfish that starts at 6:35 p.m. It&rsquo;s Thirsty Thursday! Domestic beers are just $3.
