Rochester won the last time they faced Galesburg and things went their way on Friday too. The Rockets came out on top against the Silver Streaks by a score of 9-4. Winning may never get old, but the Rockets sure are getting used to it with their eighth in a row.

Sean Plessa made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. That stolen base marked the first that he snagged this season.

In other batting news, Rochester got a massive performance out of Jorey Myren, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double. That triple was Myren's first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Reece Gade, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.

Rochester was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .375. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Galesburg only posted a batting average of .192.

Rochester pushed their record up to 9-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Galesburg, they moved to 7-7 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Rochester will face off against Lanphier at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Galesburg, they will challenge Morton at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Potters' pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so the Silver Streaks' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
