It was Wrestling Night at Rivets Stadium, as pro wrestler Tommy Dreamer was in the house to celebrate the event.\u00a0 The contest was spoiled by the visiting Kalamazoo Growlers as they took down the Rivets by a score of 6-4.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Walks were the issue once again for the Rockford Rivets, as the pitching staff issued seven free passes to the Growlers.\u00a0 Starter Jimmy Burnette, who was coming off an All-Star nod did not have his best stuff tonight as he was only able to get through the first two innings.\u00a0 His final line on the evening was 2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 5 BB, and 2 K. He took the loss in the game, and his record now sits at 1-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Growlers went on to score four more runs in the second inning of the contest off Rivets reliever Mitch Rogers.\u00a0 He coughed up four runs in one inning pitched, which was a result of three hits and one walk. This was all the Growlers needed to complete the victory in the first game of the series.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was another tough day at the dish for the Rivets, as they were unable to get any timely hitting going.\u00a0 Rockford had only one extra base hit in the contest, which was off the bat of Matt Higgins. This was part of the two run 6th inning that the Rivets had on the evening.\u00a0 He and Andrew Wilhite were the only two Rockford batters that drove in runs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps it was more the Growlers pitching than it was the Rivets hitting.\u00a0 Growlers starter Spencer Juergens was outstanding on the night, as he went the distance in the contest.\u00a0 He got the win on the night which evens his record at 2-2. His final line on the afternoon was 9.0 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 BB, and 6 K.\u00a0 His ERA on the season now sits at an even 5.00 on the season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Rivets were unable to gain ground in the standings against the Growlers.\u00a0 They are now a full game out of a playoff spot and look to pick it back up tomorrow against the same club.\u00a0 First pitch is scheduled for 11:05 tomorrow morning in Rockford.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
