Rushmores Roll Over Pioneers, 9-2
At Fort Wayne Park, the Fort Wayne Pioneers and Rapid City Rushmores were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Rapid City Rushmores starter Connor Sonnborn pitched his team past the Fort Wayne Pioneers, 9-2. The winner was Sonnborn. He threw 6.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Shuichi Endo.

Rapid City used a clutch at-bat from Hugh Welch to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rushmores ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Welch.

Fort Wayne now has a record of 3-6.
