Meanwhile, Rogers had to endure a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. Everything went their way against Waite on Monday as they made off with a 9-2 win.
Dawson Davenport was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 18 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. Those 18 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. He has become a key player for Rogers: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 0-7 otherwise.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Bowsher has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.4 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Rogers struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
