Sam Harry doubled to lead off the game, then scored on Matt McDonald\u2019s RBI double that gave Rochester the lead 1-0. After a walk and single loaded the bases, Cameron Sewell blasted a grand slam to right to jump the lead to 5-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That was all the support Jaylen Cream needed. Rochester\u2019s right-hander went seven innings and twirled six strikeouts en route to his second win of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Honkers&#8217; bats weren\u2019t done yet. In the top of the fifth, they piled on. Two two-run home runs were belted by Sean Barta and Matt Maize to power the lead to 9-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the top of the eighth, Harry crushed a solo shot to center field to make it a double-digit lead, 10-0, before singling and scoring on a McDonald RBI double to make it 11-0. Harry ended 4-5 with a home run and two runs scored. After a run scored on a wild pitch, Rochester closed out a 12-0 win in the bottom of the ninth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the loss, Waterloo goes to 9-10 on the season and 0-3 against Rochester. The series shifts to Mayo Field where the Honkers host the Bucks on Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 pm. Max Collins is the starter for Waterloo while the Honkers starting pitcher is TBD.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waterloo, IA &#8211; Rochester pounded four home runs in the ballgame and rode their starter, Jaylen Cream, who went seven  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":19779,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
