by: Manny Rodriguez
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. – The Green Bay Booyah fell on Saturday evening to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at Witter Field, 7-2.
After one inning, the Booyah trailed 2-0 but in the top of the second, Tristin Garcia (Western Kentucky) hit a two-run home run over the wall in right field to even it up. It was Garcia’s fourth home run of the season.
Despite getting eight hits in the game, the Booyah were unable to find the timely base hit to get a rally going.
The Rafters, already up 4-2, used a three-run seventh inning to make a comeback nearly impossible for the Booyah as the game approached the late stages. With the loss, the Booyah have dropped back-to-back games.
