In the bottom of the third inninng, Rockefeller drove a first pitch curveball beyond the left field fence for a grand slam that would put the Potters up 5-0 at the time.

Potters won the game 10-4.

Rockefellers offense backed a quality start from Nathan Gillman. Gillman threw 6 inninngs allowing 4 runs, only 2 of them earned, allowing 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 3.
