John Glenn 4, Rochester 2 (Tuesday): Carson Paulik homered, and Brady Coleman had a single and an RBI, but the visiting Zebras fell to John Glenn Tuesday.

Parker Casper, Zakk Parks, Callen Ferverda and Liam Spence each contributed a single. Rochester did not score after the second inning.

Spence took the loss on the mound. He allowed five hits and four runs in five innings while walking one, hitting four batters and striking out four. Brant Beck relieved and pitched a hitless sixth while walking one and striking out one.

All four John Glenn runs came in the fifth inning, and all four runs were unearned with help from three Rochester errors. All four runs scored with two outs.

Rochester (1-3) will play Rossville at Northwestern High School Friday in the first round of the Howard County Tournament.
