| SAUGET, Ill. – Sometimes it just takes one guy to have a good night in the lineup to earn a victory, and that’s exactly what the RiverHawks got on Monday night. Tony Gonzalez provided all the offense Rockford would need as the RiverHawks earned a 4-1 victory over the Gateway Grizzlies.
The first strike came in the RiverHawks’ half of the fourth inning. After Jason James hit a bunt single with one out, Gonzalez stepped to the plate and smashed an opposite field home run, his second of the season. Then in the eighth inning, Carlos Rivera led off with a double, and Joe Anthonsen followed with a walk. After both the runners advanced on a Nick Santos sacrifice bunt, Gonzalez sent both runners across the plate with an opposite field base hit. Gateway scored their only run of the game in the fifth, when Robbie Minor slapped a two-out single, bringing Alex Kerins across home plate. |
