The Rivets used a hot start and 12 walks to dominate the Kokomo Jackrabbits 9-0 on Saturday night at Rivets Stadium. The victory improves Rockford\u2019s record to 6-7 in the 2nd half, placing them just two games behind the first place Jackrabbits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The action started early in the bottom of the first, as Micah Wallette (Jr, Chico State) put the first three batters he faced on base via two walks and a hit by pitch. After Daniel Cantu (R-Fr, South Florida) scored on a wild pitch, Wade Elliott (So, Louisiana Tech) sent a double into the right centerfield gap to bring in two more runs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wallette issued two more walks and another wild pitch to allow Elliott to score before he was removed from the game with no outs recorded and Rockford leading 4-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jackson Uner (R-Jr, Minnesota State-Mankato) worked the rest of the inning without allowing a run.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the contrary, Rivets starter Ryan Culley (So, Central Michigan) was dominant – working 6 scoreless innings, allowing just five hits and one walk while striking out six.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following Culley\u2019s last inning in the top of the 6th, the Rivets added another four spot – scoring on two bases-loaded walks, a bases-loaded hit by pitch and a fielder\u2019s choice to extend their lead to 8-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockford added another run via a Phil Matulia (Jr, Louisiana Tech) double in the 7th, and Cade Turner (Fr, Illinois-Springfield) and Jared Herzog (Fr, Rockford) preserved the shutout with three scoreless innings out of the bullpen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shutout is the Rivets pitching staff\u2019s second of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockford and Kokomo will wrap up the two game series tomorrow at 3:05, marking the final game before the All-Star Break.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
