Richmond, Indiana - Richmond lost to River City 7-4 on Monday night snapping a five-game home-winning streak. The Roosters came from behind twice to tie the game, but the Rascals scored four runs in the last two innings to seal the win. Even with the loss, the Roosters have won seven of their last nine games.
The Rascals scored first with a base hit by Mike Madrid in the first inning that scored Anthony Slagle and gave River City a 1-0 lead. Richmond tied it up in the second when Dick Daly, Jr. tripled over the head of the center fielder to score Kevin White from second. The Rascals broke the tie in the fourth when Kirk McConnell hit solo home run to right field making it a 2-1 game.
