There's no place like home for Holden, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They skirted past the East Jefferson Warriors 5-3. The win was some much needed relief for the Rockets as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
Nate Garcia spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on seven hits.
At the plate, Holden let Caden Rivett and Aidan Hutchinson run wild. Rivett scored a run while going 2-for-2, while Hutchinson scored three runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. What's more, Rivett posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in March.
