Four errors and 13 hits were a recipe for disaster for the Green Bay Rockers on Sunday, losing to the Royal Oak Leprechauns 9-7.
The Rockers had a 5-1 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth inning before the Leprechauns scored at least two runs in the following three innings, including three in the fifth and sixth frames. The Rockers had the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the eighth, but Mateo Matthews struck out to end the threat.
Lane Allen led all Rockers hitters with four hits and two RBI on the day. Seth Farni had two hits, while Jake Bold also had a multi-RBI game with two. Three of the four Rockers pitchers gave up at least three runs in limited innings, with Nainoa Cardinez suffering the worst fate as he gave up his three runs on four hits in only 2/3 innings.
The Rockers continue their Michigan residency on Monday with a trip to Battle Creek.
