But, it wasn\u2019t enough, as the Rafters got the lead back on a Trotter Boston (Tabor College) single in the eight for 8-7 Rafters victory. The Dock Spiders drop to 0-1 on the season and go to 5-3 overall on Opening Days.<\/p>\n

The next batter, Drew Barrgan (Embry Riddle) took a walk and a wild pitch with Zach Tayor (UW-Oshkosh) batting allowed two on in scoring position. A strikeout of Taylor, and then a pass ball with two outs with a third strike of Jake Surane (Wisconsin-Oshkosh) allowed him to reach and to score Perilli to make it 7-6, a balk called a batter later on pitcher Pierce Boles (LSU Eunice) tied the game up at seven.<\/p>\n
