Tornadoes DH Nick Salotti doubled and went 3-for-4 with two RBI while his teammate, C Alex Trezza hit a two-run homer in the fourth, leading the Tornadoes effort in their 6-2 win over Rockland.

For Brockton, 1B Shawn Williams cut Pittsfield's 4-0 lead in half in the bottom of the second with a two-run homer - his only hit. But that was as close as the Rox ever got.
