Rockford, Ill. -- The Lake Erie Crushers won their second game in a row on Tuesday night in a rain shortened contest, defeating the Rockford RiverHawks, 4-2 in six innings.

Lake Erie (2-2) snapped a 2-2 tie by scoring twice in the top of the sixth inning, while Rockford (2-2) went down in order in the bottom of the sixth, before the game was originally delayed because of lightning. The rain came shortly thereafter, with two outs in the top of the seventh inning and never stopped, giving the Crushers a 4-2 victory.

The Crushers wasted no time getting started, scoring twice in the first inning, as they did in their last victory on Saturday night. The bases were loaded for Lake Erie with one down, when Nick Mahin hit a ground ball to Rockford shortstop Jake Eigsti, which Eigisti booted, allowing Chase Fontaine to score. The next batter, Joel Collins reached on a fielder's choice which brought Andrew Davis home.

Josh Roberts (1-1) fanned the first two batters he faced and worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the first inning, before allowing a pair of runs in the second. Jeremy Hamilton began the frame with a double, and scored on Cameron Satterwhite's base hit. Carlos Dominguez brought in the game tying run two batters later on a groundout. After allowing that run to score, Roberts went on to retire 13 of the final 14 batters he faced.
