Rockets fall
CELINA, Ohio — The Portland Rockets suffered their first losses of the season Wednesday, falling 4-3 and 5-1 to the host Grand Lake Mariners.
The Rockets were in position to win both games, with South Adams High School graduate Daniel Bollenbacher (five strikeouts) tossing four scoreless frames in game two before leaving in the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead. But Grand Lake came up with a three run double in the fifth and added two more runs in the sixth to earn the win.
Justin Marrero had a hit and scored the lone Portland run.
The opening game was tied at two in the final frame, but a two-run double followed by an infield, RBI single lifted the Mariners. Marrero had two hits and two RBIs, and Bryan Brudi added two hits in the defeat.
