Hollandale scored first but the Dodgeville Knights answered then tacked on some more runs for good measure.
The Knights beat the Rockies 14-1 in eight innings with a 14 hit attack, some made more difficult because of the wind. The Rockies were hosts for the Home Talent League Western Section game.
Tony DeMuth homered in the second for the Knights to tie the game. Hollandale had scored in the bottom of the first when Kyle Thompson walked, Griffin Rear was hit by a pitch and Ryan Clerkin singled to center for an rbi.
Knights starter Travis Elvert then settled down and worked seven strong innings before giving way to Brad Simmons.
Elvert limited the Rockies to five hits and Simmons gave up one. Elvert fanned eight and walked one while Simmons gave up one hit and struck out the side in the eighth.
