Rockford RiverHawks News Release
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - The Rockford RiverHawks waited more than 3 hours to play Saturday. They waited in vain the rest of the night for a big hit.
The RiverHawks left 11 on base - seven in scoring position - and lost, 7-3, to Winnipeg at Canwest Park. The game was delayed by 3:24 because of a thunderstorm that arrived at the scheduled gametime.
The RiverHawks took an early 2-0 lead on Evan McArthur's two-out RBI single in the second inning and Travis Scott's run-scoring groundout in the third.
Dee Brown tied the game on a two-out, two-run double in the Winnipeg fourth inning and Kevin West hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Rockford reliever Justin Knoff (0-1) in the fifth.
Winnipeg starter Mark Holliman (4-1) scattered four hits over six innings for the win. He struck out a season-high 10 and walked four.
The finale of the four-game series is at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
The RiverHawks come home to play Schaumburg at 7:05 p.m. Friday, July 2. The Independence Day weekend starts with postgame fireworks, sponsored by Rock Valley College. It's also the Friday Fish Fry and Free Gas Friday.
