Rome and Lakewood got after it at First Energy Park.

The Rome Braves powered past the Lakewood BlueClaws, 9-4, at First Energy Park. Ryan Spalinger was 3 for 5 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI, to lead the charge. Sean Foster picked up his 2nd save of the season.

Mike Van Loenen was 2 for 4 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs for Rome. The 23-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Paul Thomas. It was his 4th RBI of the season.

"Banging out wins is what it's all about," said Spalinger.

Rome now sports a record of 12-20.
