Booyah look for eighth win at home
by: Manny Rodriguez
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Green Bay Booyah will cap off their three-game home stand at Capital Credit Union Park on Thursday against the Madison Mallards.
Last night, the Booyah fell in a high-scoring ballgame by a final of 11-9. Jake Berg (Jacksonville) hit two solo home runs and had three runs batted in in the contest. His efforts earned him Northwoods League Player of the Night. Kaden Hollow (Dixie State) also drove in four RBIs in the loss.
With the loss, the Booyah now drop to 1-4 on the season against the Mallards and are now 7-9 on the season at home.
The Booyah will look to gain some momentum to try to claw back into the thick of things tonight. The Booyah sit 2.5 games back of the Mallards for the penultimate spot in the Great Lakes West.
The Booyah will give the nod to Will Semb (Iowa) on Thursday. The De Pere native will be making first start and sixth appearance of the season. He is 1-1 on the season and carries a 5.54 ERA. He looked great in his last appearance back on June 23 against the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. He pitched six innings out of the bullpen and threw 100 pitches that resulted in two hits, two runs, two walks and 11 strikeouts.
The Mallards will start Ryan Lauk. This will be his second start against the Booyah this season. Back on June 12, he pitched 4.1 innings, allowing six hits, four runs, one walk while striking out four in a losing effort. He is 1-2 on the season with a 3.80 ERA. He was slated to start in Madison against Green Bay on June 25 but that game was postponed to August 9.
