The matchup marked the Rivets&#8217; final away game of the year, as they looked to end their time on the road with a victory.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>The Chinooks had other plans, defeating the Screws 3-2 after a late come-from-behind win. Rockford was outhit 9-7 in a close game that came down to the final batter.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Left-handed pitcher Brady Louck (Arizona State University) made his 10th start of the season, earning a 3-0 record. Louck shut down the Chinooks through six innings, allowing no runs on five hits, with seven strikeouts.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Joey Appino (Carroll University) kicked the game off with a leadoff double to center field, putting the Rivets into scoring position. Connor Kave (Iona University) advanced the runner to third with a deep fly out, allowing Alex Tabbert (Harper College) to score Appino with a sacrifice fly to make it an early 1-0 lead.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>In the top of the sixth, Keith Eusebio (Paradise Valley CC) delivered a solo shot to right field, extending the lead to 2-0. The home run was Eusebio\u2019s fifth of the year, and 25th total RBI.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Louck kept the Chinooks quiet on offense with no runs through six straight innings, exiting the game before the bottom of the seventh began. Right-handed pitcher Derek Huber (Illinois-Springfield) took over on the mound, marking his 12th appearance of the summer.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>In the bottom of the eighth, Lakeshore put a runner into scoring position with two outs. An RBI single put the Chinooks on the board, cutting the lead to just one heading into the ninth inning.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Right-hander Jimmy Amptmann (Davenport University) came into the game looking to close things out, with his 15th appearance of the year.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>Lakeshore loaded the bases with no outs, putting the Rivets&#8217; backs against the wall. A walk-off double to left field was enough for the Chinooks to complete the comeback and take game one.<\/div>\n<div>\u200b<\/div>\n<div>The Rivets will be back in action one final time tomorrow night at 6:35 p.m., looking to end the year with a victory.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Christopher Rodriguez\u00a0 LAKESHORE, WI \u2013 The Rockford Rivets (18-16) began their final series of the season on Friday night  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
