Rockets fall to Fort Wayne in 10 innings

For the second consecu - tive game, the Rockets went to extra innings. They walked away with a loss again. The Portland Rockets out-hit the visiting Fort Wayne Blues on Friday night but gave up the only run of the game with two outs in the top of the 10th inning in a 1-0 defeat. It was their second extra-innings loss in a row after falling 8-1 to the Fort Wayne Dirtbags on Tues - day. After nine scoreless frames Friday night, Joel Deakins drew a two-out walk for Fort Wayne and advanced to second and then to third on a pair of passed balls. Justin Bult - meier handled the rest, delivering a single to cen - ter field to bring Deakins to the plate and give the Blues the 1-0 advantage.
