WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI – The first game of a scheduled doubleheader at Witter Field in Wisconsin Rapids was cut short due to rain, however the Dock Spiders were still able to win their seventh game of the second half season. In six innings, the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders defeated the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters, 3-1. 

Note: Play was suspended and ultimately completed in the bottom of the seventh inning, however due to NWL rules citing that a full inning must be completed to officially count, the final score and statistics revert back to the conclusion of the sixth inning.
