Rockford Aviators News Release


LOVES PARK, IL- The Rockford Aviators (32-47) presented by Pearson, struggled mightily and fell to the Normal CornBelters (39-39), 20-5.

Nick Grim struggled with his control tonight as he allowed nine runs on just four hits. He walked four batters and hit four batters while throwing several wild pitches with the bases loaded that allowed the Belters to get ahead early and not look back.

The Belters scored the first twelve runs in the game to give them a 12-0 lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning. The Aviators got on the board after Michael Hur hit a sacrifice fly that made the score 12-1.

Edgar Corcino hit his eighth home run of the year, a two-run home run that cut into the lead as the Aviators trailed 12-3.

The Belters pushed two more runs across in the sixth inning when Brain Bistagne hit a RBI single that scored a run and Mason Morioka hit a sacrifice fly that made the score 13-5.

The Belters were not done however. They scored five runs in the seventh inning, including back to back home runs.

Ozney Guillen added a two-run shot of his own in the top of the ninth inning that increased the Belters lead to 20-5.

Tanner Witt hit a RBI single that scored Morioka and Kenny Bryant added a RBI single of his own in the bottom of the ninth, but the Aviators would fall 20-7.

The Aviators will continue their series with the CornBelters tomorrow night a 7:05 p.m. Aviators fans will want to come to the game as the first 1,000 fans through the gate will receive a FREE Aviators fleece blanket to keep you warm through the winter!
