Page pitched eight shutout innings allowing just two hits and striking out three. Page’s efforts earned him the Northwoods League Pitcher of the Night award for July 6.
Green Bay pulled 16 hits together in the 8-0 victory. During this season-long four-game winning streak, they have combined for 58 hits. Before the streak started, Green Bay was 16th in the league in team batting average. They will enter tonight’s game in Mequon 8th in the league in that same category.
The Booyah have outscored opponents 39-18 during this streak.
