It was an exhilarating Independence Day at Rivets Stadium, as the Rivets come out on top of an up and down contest against the Kenosha Kingfish.\u00a0 The final score was 10-9. Pitchers of record in this one were Sultan Solebo for Rockford, who got the win, and Tanner Fallon received the loss for Kenosha.\u00a0 Their records now sit at 1-1 and 3-4 respectively.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rockford got out to an early lead in this one, as they recorded three triples in the first three innings coming from Jake Vander Wal, Andrew Wilhite, and Blake Burrows.\u00a0 Through this point, it was 4-0 Rivets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the Rivets added on more runs, and entered the 9th inning with a four run lead, things got rather tight for Josh Keim\u2019s Rockford club.\u00a0 Tanner Propst came in to try and slam the door on the Kingfish, but it was not that simple. Propst, out of the University of Louisiana Tech came into the contest only allowing three earned runs on the season, but had trouble closing out Thursday\u2019s game.\u00a0 He pitched two-thirds of an inning, while surrendering five runs (one earned), and issuing two walks. Sultan Solbeo came in after Propst\u2019s exit, but he was the one who ended up allowing the go ahead run.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It all worked out in the end, as the offense was able to make up for the bullpen woes for Rockford.\u00a0 They were bailed out by Matt Higgins, who drove in Andrew Wilhite out of the University of Minnesota to walk the game off in the bottom of the ninth inning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Offensive standouts for the Rivets include Jake Vander Wal and Andrew Wilhite.\u00a0 Vander Wal was 3-5 with four runs scored, and an RBI to his credit. Andrew Wilhite, Stillman Valley, IL native was an offensive machine during the game.\u00a0 He was on base in all of his at bats, going 3-3 with four runs scored and three RBI.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This moves the Rivets to 1-1 in the second half standings in the Great Lakes East division of the Northwoods League.\u00a0 The Rivets look to carry momentum into their next game, which comes on Friday, July 5th in Green Bay, WI against the Green Bay Booyah.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
