Rodriguez's blast catapults Doubledays to victory

AUBURN - For the most part, the hits were hard to come by for the Auburn Doubledays in a game against Mahoning Valley on Sunday. But it only took one - the first and biggest of the game - for the Doubledays to set the tone early. With two runners on, via walks thrown by Scrappers' starter Ryan Miller, Auburn first baseman Manny Rodriguez ripped a first- inning, first-pitch breaking ball over the right-center field wall in Falcon Park to propel the Doubledays to a 6-4 win.
