The home team had won the previous four meetings between Rolling Meadows and Elk Grove, and Elk Grove kept the tradition alive. The Mustangs wound up with the same score they had in their last game (4-3), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. They were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Grenadiers earlier this season, when they won 4-3.
Charlie Hoeper was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off seven hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Luke Schneider was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI. Tyler Stankiewicz was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base.
