They would bring home two more runs that inning and then another two in the second to build their lead to 6-0 where it would stay until the seventh inning.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Martin provided some life for the dormant Rivets\u2019 offense with his two-run double in the seventh. Hal Hughes was also able to get an RBI under his belt with a sac-fly in the eighth, but after the Growlers put up one more in the bottom of the inning, the Rivets couldn\u2019t muster up a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>A highlight for the Rivets was the pitching of Anthony Holubecki, who came on in the fourth inning in relief of starting pitcher Evan Snyder. Holubecki threw five innings, allowing one hit, one run, one walk, and striking out eight.\u00a0At one-point, Holubecki had retired 12 straight batters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnthony [Holubecki] did a great job the final five innings,\u201d Rivets\u2019 Manager Brian Smith said of the Notre Dame reliever, \u201cHe\u2019s getting better and better every time he goes out there. The more guys we can trust in situations like that, the better off we\u2019ll be in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rivets finished the game with six hits compared to just four by the Growlers. Ryan Cole was the only Rivet with multiple hits.<\/p>\n<p>The Rivets finish of the four game road trip with another game against the Growlers. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 CDT.<\/p>\n<p>The Rockford Rivets are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
