For the second consecutive night, the Rivets and Lakeshore Chinooks needed extra innings to break a 2-2 tie. However, unlike Thursday night, Rockford couldn\u2019t come through and dropped the contest 4-2. The loss brings the Rivets\u2019 2nd half record to 12-16 with eight games remaining in the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like Thursday\u2019s game at Lakeshore, a wind blowing out didn\u2019t prevent a pitchers\u2019 duel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Payton Hutchings (Fr, Illinois) took the ball for Rockford in his final start of the summer, while Nate Haberthier (Fr, Ohio State) started for Lakeshore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Big Ten arms surrendered an early run in the 2nd frame. Hutchings retired the 1st two batters of the inning before allowing a two-out double and an RBI single off the bat of Connor Kimple (R-Jr, Louisiana-Lafayette).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockford responded in the bottom of the inning with an RBI groundout by Joaquin Monque (Fr, South Florida) to score Jack Cavanaugh (R-Jr, UW-Milwaukee).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the scoring went quiet until the 6th inning, the game itself did not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the top of the 5th inning, Brody Harding (So, Illinois) reached on an infield single and ended up exchanging words with Haberthier and other members of the Lakeshore infield.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the Rivets failed to score in the frame, the beef went to a new level in the top of the 6th, as Jackson Gray (R-So, Western Kentucky) launched a go-ahead solo home run to right field and admired the shot in the left handed batters box for well over 10 seconds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After Gray rounded the bases, Monque exchanged words with him at home plate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockford once again responded in the scoring column, thanks to an RBI infield hit by Conner Goodman (R-So, UW-Milwaukee) to knot the game at 2. The Rivets failed to capitalize with the bases loaded the rest of the inning, as Haberthier struck out Harding to end the frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hutchings exited the game in the top of the 7th after striking out Justin Olson (R-Jr, College of Southern Nevada). Hutchings finished his final start of the season with a final line of 6.1 innings pitched, five hits allowed, two earned runs, no walks and eight strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, the bullpens dominated to get the game to extras. Cade Turner (Fr, Kirkwood) tossed 2.2 scoreless innings for Rockford, while Jason DeCicco (R-Jr, Eastern Illinois) struck out six Rivets in 2.1 innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brett Taucher (R-Jr, Quincy) came in for the 10th for Rockford and struggled. In his first batter faced, Kimple bunted a ball back to the righty, which Taucher bobbled, leading to a runners on 2nd and 3rd situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Olson would come around to score on a wild pitch to put Lakeshore ahead 3-2. Taucher recovered by recording back-to-back outs, but surrendered an RBI double to Dylan Johnson (R-So, Gonzaga) to push the Chinooks lead to 4-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bottom of the 10th, Brandon Bannon (So, Illinois-Springfield) was hit with the first pitch, but Lakeshore righty Mitch Mueller (So, Winona State) bounced back by recording a strikeout and inducing a game-ending double play ball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The defeat marks Rockford\u2019s final game of the season with Lakeshore, with the Chinooks taking the series 3-1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rivets return to action tomorrow tonight in Traverse City with a 7:05 ET matchup with the Pit Spitters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
