After finding themselves down 5-0 in the 2nd inning, the Rockford Rivets scored 10 unanswered runs to beat the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders 10-5. The victory is Rockford's third straight, and even's the squad's record at 6-6.
Rivets starter Payton Hutchings (Fr, Illinois) surrendered 5 runs - one unearned - to put the Rivets in an early hole in the 2nd frame.
