\n\tLOVES PARK, Ill.<\/strong> – For the second night in a row, the Rockford Rivets held on to a one-run lead and beat the Green Bay Bullfrogs, 3-2, on Thursday at Rivets Stadium.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tRockford completed a two-game series sweep when Green Bay stranded the possible tying run at third base. In Wednesday’s series opener, a 4-3 win, the Bullfrogs also left the potential tying run on base.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThree Rockford pitchers combined on a six-hitter. Starter Cory Wright went seven innings for the win. Wright (3-1), from Parkland Community College, gave up two runs on five hits.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJoe Romero pitched a hitless eighth inning and Zach Olszewski earned the save for the second night in a row. In the ninth, Olszewski gave up a two-out triple to Jonah Davis, but retired Laren Eustace on a grounder to first to earn his fifth save of the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAustin Hancock (1-5) gave up three runs, two earned, on three hits over five innings, and took the loss. The Rivets were hitless against the Green Bay bullpen.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tRockford led from the second inning on. Jordan Hovey, from Missouri State, tripled in two runs in the second to give the Rivets a 2-1 lead.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rivets face The Lakeshore Chinooks at Rivets Stadium 6:35 p.m. Friday for Zooperstars night. It’s also TGIF, when beer is just $3 from the time gates open until the first pitch of the game. Broadcasts and live streams can be found at NorthwoodsLeague.com.\n<\/p>\n
