Friday Recap

Clinton 7 @ Beloit 2

Galveston, Texas native Kyle Rogers (5-8; 6.48) delivered his most impressive outing as a professional, holding Beloit to one unearned run on three hits and a walk while fanning seven in seven strong innings of work to earn the victory for the 17-18 LumberKings.

Third baseman Emerson Frostad (.272 / .359 / .450) gave Clinton an early lead with a first inning two-run homer, his tenth of the year, highlighting a 3-4 outing that also included a double and four RBIs altogether. Frostad's two-run single in the seventh keyed a three-run rally that blew the game open.

Jim Fasano doubled twice and walked once in four plate appearances. His eighth inning two-bagger rounded plated Ben Harrison to round out scoring for Clinton.
