Rochester capitalized on every Shakopee miscue scoring 3 unearned runs in the first three innings as the Indians fell behind early 4-0 after three innings.

The Indian bats would come alive in the middle innings. Brandon Olson led off the 5th inning with a single, stole second and scored on Troy Wasiloski’s double.

Rochester tied the game in the 6th on a double by Tim Osterlin and a two-out single by Bryan Denisen. The Indians would answer back in big inning fashion in the bottom half of the 6th sending nine batters to the plate. Five hits, including doubles by Tim Piechowski, Aaron Olson, and Chris Baso, would yield five runs and the Indians held a slim 6-5 lead.

In the 8th, the Indians lackluster “D” would cost them again. With two out and two on an Indian miscue would open the gates for three more unearned runs and the Royals regained the lead for good. A small rally by Shakopee in the 9th fell short and the Royals win their second game of the day.
