Rock River Earn 8-4 Victory at Pipe Fitters Park
The Rats grabbed a win, 8-4, at Pipe Fitters Park, overcoming a fine effort from Niagara Falls pitcher Cesar Figueroa. Figueroa went 5.2 innings and allowed 1 run. The winning pitcher was Michael Melis. His record now stands at 17-7. The left-hander went 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits for the Rats. The TML AA Bruce Bochy Division-leading Rats are 102-50.

Rock River used a well-timed hit by Andy Velazquez to capture the win. The third baseman socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Rats ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Velazquez told the Rock River Daily.
