The Rochester Redhawks were burned by the big inning in a pair of losses to visiting Rosemount on Wednesday in an American Legion baseball doubleheader.
Rosemount scored four runs in the third inning of the first game and won 5-2, and a seven-run third lifted Rosemount to an 11-7 win in the second game.
The Redhawks managed just three hits in the first game and 10 in the twinbill. The Redhawks' record dipped to 10-14.
"We looked good at the plate, but couldn't punch runs across the plate when we had the chance," said Redhawks coach Tom Senne.
"Rosemount had one big inning where we couldn't get an out for the life of us."
