Waters wins 2 for Rockets (06/30/08)

Local roundup

The Portland Rockets ran their record to 15-6 so far this year, taking three out of four of their weekend games.

Portland swept Warsaw at home Saturday, winning both games by 9-3 finals. It dropped the opener in Fort Wayne Sunday 2-1 to Shady Nook, but then bounced back to defeat LaMargarita Blues 5-1.

Mitch Waters earned two of the victories, tossing four innings Saturday in the opener against Warsaw and six more Sunday versus LaMargarita. The offense gave Waters plenty of support against Warsaw, staking him to a 9-0 lead behind three hits apiece from Ian Sanders and Ryan Shell.

Riley Muhlenkamp racked up three hits in game two, and Aaron Pfeffenberger, Steve Wiegle and Sanders added two apiece. Corey Murrey tossed a complete game for the victory.

Garrett Wiejak limited Shady Nook to two runs, but took the defeat as the Rockets managed just three hits. Atkinson finished off Waters' win over LaMargarita, in which Jake Carr had two hits.
