Terriers Dealt 6-5 Home Loss
The Canton Terriers got a superb performance from pitcher Dutch Ruether, but the Rockford Peaches still won the game, 6-5. Ruether threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. Rockford starter Mike Fornieles was credited with the win after throwing 133 pitches over 7.2 innings. His record now stands at 3-4. Ryan Madson converted his 17th save in 22 tries.

One important at-bat came with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth inning. Facing Canton hurler Dutch Ruether, Adam LaRoche, who is tied for 10th in the AMA in bases on balls with 47, hit a grand slam home run. The Peaches went on to win.

"I like to keep things lively in the clubhouse," said LaRoche. "Believe me, it's much easier after a win."

The win puts Rockford at 43-69.
