Rockets Capture Close Win
Joe Brackett, who is tied for 7th in the N-A in quality starts with 4, had a strong outing for the Huntsville Rockets against the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks at Jet Hawks Ballpark. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 4-3 win. Rich Sargent collected save number 5. The Rockets improved their record to 16-23 with the win over Grand Rapids.

Huntsville needed the clutch hitting of Nick Taylor to notch the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rockets on top, 4-2. For the game, Taylor had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

After the game, Huntsville manager Alec Roller applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
