Local roundup
CELINA, Ohio — The Portland Rockets put up a strong effort Saturday and Sunday against the host Grand Lake Mariners, but walked away with a couple of 1-0 losses.
Portland (1-3) had the tying run on second base in the ninth inning Sunday before a strikeout ended the threat. It got hits from Brad Smith, Brad Kindred and Geoff Bowers.
Tyler Reynolds struck out three batters in two innings of relief, but gave up an unearned run in the seventh to suffer the loss.
On Saturday the Rockets managed just a couple of hits, one each by Nate Clem and Jay County High School graduate Heath Williams, while striking out 14 times. The Mariners scored the winning run in the 10th inning thanks to an error, a sacrifice bunt, a balk and an infield single.

All three of the Rockets’ losses this year have come by a single run.
