Rochester gives up early cushion, stumbles against Hoquiam

Posted

The Warriors losing streak extended to nine games on Tuesday afternoon, unable to hold a brief lead after one inning to eventually fall to the Grizzlies 17-5 in five innings at home.

Addie Morgan tied the game at 1-1 with an RBI single and Charlie Culp stole home to put Rochester (1-11, 0-5 Evergreen) in front by a run. Hoquiam responded with four runs in the second, five in the third and seven total over the last two frames.

Culp hit a two-run home run in the fifth for the Warriors while Morgan and Katie Lay both notched two hits. Rochester will get a rematch with Hoquiam on Thursday, the start of a four-game road swing over the next week-plus.
