Rochester Honkers News Release
(Rochester, MN) - The Rochester Honkers and Alexandria Beetles waited two hours to start tonight's game, only to get it suspended after two full innings of play with the Honkers up 3-0, due to lightning. The two teams will resume game one of the series, and then follow it up with the second game in a doubleheader format tomorrow June 19, at Mayo Field. Game one will start at 1:05 pm, and game two will start 30-minutes after.
The Honkers got a great start in their first inning at the plate. Anthony Hutting (So, Cal State Fullerton) led the game off with a double, followed by a hit batsman, and Scott Thornburg (Jr, Creighton) followed that up with a double scoring Hutting. The Honkers would get the bases loaded, and score two more runners before the inning ended.
The Beetles did get one runner on first base before the lightning strikes were seen, and will start tomorrow with a runner on first base.
Game two will feature Alex Alemann (So, St. Louis) on the mound for the Honkers. Alemann has made three starts, none of them at Mayo Field. In his three starts he is 0-3, with an ERA of 3.71. The Honkers will finish up their home stand tomorrow, before heading to St. Cloud and Duluth for six games.
