Matt Garza allowed Jack Howard to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game
and catcher Ivan Rodriguez had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the Grundy County
Grizzlies beat the Vermont Fighting Sioux by a score of 5 to 3.

Grundy County came up with 3 runs in the 6th inning. After an out was
recorded, Matt Holliday got things rolling when he drew a walk. After
another out, Miguel Cabrera stepped up to the plate and he doubled. B.J.
Upton then drew a walk. Rodriguez was up next and he doubled. Vermont had a
chance in the 9th but they came up short.

Garza(1-0) lasted until the end allowing 3 runs for the win. The losing
pitcher was Francisco Liriano(1-1). He surrendered 4 hits and 4 walks in 5
and 2/3 innings.

Justin Rabidoux was in a sour mood after the game. 'Even you guys up in the
press box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'
