Roettger improved his record to 4-2 on the year and the Lasers went to 13-12 overall with the victory.
On the season, Roettger has appeared in nine games and started seven on the mound. He has pitched a team high 47.0 innings.
The former Beckman High standout pitched in 11 games last season, making eight starts.
