Matt Scheffler and Pat Kirk delivered the decisive plays, while Chris Barnhart steadied game two after a rough first inning. Dixon improves to 15-4 while awaiting coach Bruce Scheidegger’s return. Rochelle also swept Lowes Park Harlem as Greg Hopwood and Rick Bee limited hitters and Mike Busby and Jason Dyer closed out game two for a 5-1 nightcap victory.
