Patrick O’Sullivan led off with a double to left field and Jake Eigsti singled him to third. Jono Brooks doubled in the go-ahead run. Evan McAarthur and Elvin Millan, Jr. followed with RBI singles and David Cooper beat out an infield hit to load the bases.

Luis Alen doubled in both and later scored on a groundout. Rockford closer Scott Roehl gave up a leadoff single in the ninth inning, but retired the next three for his fourth save.
