The Bullfrogs are coming off a series where they were swept by the Rockford Rivets, the Rivets are currently third in the South Division and support a strong pitching staff that the Bullfrogs couldn't figure out. The Frogs lost the first game 10-3, Alonzo Jones was the lone bright spot in the game as he belted a two-run home run and a RBI triple. The second game the Bullfrogs would score first and go up 2-0 off a two-RBI double from Troy Johnston. The Rivets would respond however and take a 5-3 lead going into the eighth. The Frogs would respond with a RBI single from Troy Johnston in the eighth, but it wouldn't be enough as the Frogs would fall 5-4 against the Rivets.
