Tanner Witt homered and drove in an additional run while Kyle Hassna and the Aviators pitching staff shutout Southern Illinois for the second straight night as Rockford (8-0) defeated the Miners 4-0 in Frontier League baseball action at Rent One Park Saturday in Marion, IL. The victory was Rockford's eighth straight to begin the 2015 campaign while the Miners dropped to 5-3 for the season.
Hassna (2-0) had another superb outing for the Aviators as the righthander yielded just three hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Eric Cendejas, Matt Frahm and Colby Holmes each pitched a scoreless inning in relief to seal the victory, with Holmes striking out the side to close out the game. Lefthander Ryan Brockett (0-1) took the loss for the Miners despite a quality start in which he gave up only two runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
