Logan CC) sent his third home run of the season into right field to put the Rivets up first, 1-0. It\u2019s the first time the Rivets have scored first in six games, putting an end to a tough streak for the offense.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Rockford kept their foot on the gas in the top of the fifth, putting runners at the corners with no outs. Collie stepped up at the plate once again, with a bloop single to score his team leading 20th RBI of the summer.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Alex Tabbert (Harper College) delivered more damage, scoring an RBI single of his own to right field to score another run and make it 3-0 Rivets.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>In the bottom of the sixth, left-handed pitcher Ryan Sigale (Augustana College) entered the game for the Screws, his eighth appearance of the summer.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>The Flying Mummies were able to answer back offensively in the bottom of the seventh inning, loading the bases with one out after two walks and a hit by pitch. Sigale was able to limit the damage to just a two-run single, keeping Rockford ahead 3-2.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Rockford\u2019s offense went quiet for the final four innings following the two-run fifth frame, not being able to record a single hit and add some insurance runs.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Left-handed pitcher Rowan Smyth (Lewis University) took over the pitching duties for the Rivets in the bottom of the eighth, where a leadoff double put him in trouble early. Richmond was able to put runners at the corners, and a double steal led to a miscommunication, allowing the runner from third to reach home plate and tie the game.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>The Flying Mummies were able to deliver the final blow in the bottom of the ninth, scoring their fourth unanswered run with a walk-off single. Richmond was able to total 10 walks offensively, two of those coming in the final inning to help get their runner into scoring position.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>The Screws will head back home to Rivets Stadium tomorrow at 6:35 p.m., where they\u2019ll look to take back control of the six-game series with the final four matchups taking place in Rockford.
