(Joliet, IL)- Friday night's game turned out to be a Long and Winding Road on Beatles Night at Silver Cross Field, with the Rockford RiverHawks and Joliet Slammers taking the contest into 13 innings where the Hawks eventually prevailed 4-2.

The game was scoreless through two and a half, but with two on and one out, a throwing error by the Rockford defense allowed two runs to cross for the Slammers, giving them the early lead.

They would hold onto it until the ninth inning, where Rockford roared to life. With runners on the corners, Jet Butler smacked an RBI single to put the Hawks on the board, and Jimmy Parque singled in another run to tie it up.

The game stayed tied at two until the thirteenth inning, where Chase Doremus allowed Rockford to load the bases and hit a batter, handing Rockford the lead. He then threw a wild pitch to the backstop, resulting in a 4-2 Hawks advantage.

But the Slammers didn't go quietly. In the home half, David Christensen knocked a run-scoring single into the gap to make it 3-2, but Hawks pitching then set down Kyle Maunus to end the game.

Jonathan Sanchez threw a gem in his start, going seven scoreless innings but earning no decision. Joliet went through five relief pitchers, but it was Doremus who surrendered the final runs.

The Slammers continue their homestand with the Rockford RiverHawks on 80's Night at the yard with a 6:05 p.m. first pitch. Fans can listen to the game on AM 1340 WJOL with Aaron Morse and Greg Talbott calling the action.
