The Waterloo Bucks and the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters continue to hold leads in their divisions as they both won from shutouts. Rain forced the Bucks to only play six and two more games were cancelled and will be made up at later dates. All the information is listed below.

Waterloo 11, Thunder Bay 0 (Six Innings)

The Waterloo Bucks only needed six innings to jump on the Thunder Bay Border Cats for a 11-1 victory. The Bucks scored first in the top half of the opening inning when Zach Malis (Grand Canyon) hit a two-run shot. Waterloo then put up four more in the third when Drew Greenwood (Bellarmine) hit a solo home run with one out. Malis drove in his second of the game with a single and he later scored from a two-run double. The Bucks weren’t done as they broke the game open for five in the fourth. A bases loaded walk brought in Greenwood to get things going followed by a three run scoring singles. The Border Cats managed to get one before the game was called in the sixth when Noah Strohl (Grossmont) drove in Gabriel Lozada (Hillsborough CC) from a double. Due to Northwoods League rules though since the bottom of the sixth was still in progress, the game reverts back to the score at the end of the fifth.

Green Bay 10, Madison 7

The Green Bay Bullfrogs went up nine and avoided a late rally by the Madison Mallards for a 10-7 victory.

Another RBI single and an error brought two more in. Benyo then delivered again in the third when he hit a three-run shot. The Mallards got on the board with one in the fifth when Brock Weimer (SIUE) scored an unearned run. Benyo jump started another inning with a single and later scored on a two-run single. Two RBI singles brought in two more to increase the Frog’ lead to nine. The Mallards wouldn’t go away as Jalen Harrison (Virginia) drove in a two-run double in the eighth. Madison then got two from a single in the bottom of the ninth followed by a two-run home run by Angel Camacho (Jacksonville). After getting tagged for six, Nick Ohanian (Mesa CC) settled in to get a strikeout to end any further damage and secure the win for the Bullfrogs.
