Green Bay victorious at home on Monday
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Green Bay Booyah defeated the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders on Monday night at Capital Credit Union Park, 4-2.
The Booyah scored one in the first inning after Dayson Croes’ (Quincy) RBI groundout to first base that scored Brendan Ryan (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi). The Booyah added another in the third when Dalton Pearson’s (Georgia State) RBI single down the left field line scored Ryan.
In the fourth, with two away, Nathan Blasick (West Virginia) worked a walk, which was followed by an Elias Flowers (Jacksonville) walk. Nadir Lewis (Princeton) then hit a double to left field that scored Blasick to give Green Bay a 3-0 lead.
But the Dock Spiders stayed in the game by scoring one in the sixth on an RBI by Mcgwire Holbrook and another in the eight on a sacrifice fly by Holbrook to make it 3-2.
The Booyah picked up an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth when Blasick hit a double, narrowly missing a home run, high off the videoboard in right field. He came in when Flowers hit a single up the middle that was knocked down by second baseman Chandler Simpson and trickled away. Blasick took advantage of that and scored from second.
Mykel Page (Southern) pitched 5.1 shutout innings. He allowed six hits, while walking one and striking out two. Mason Coon (Illinois-Springfield) picked up the save, his first of the season.
With the win, the Booyah have won back-to-back games to improve to 5-2 and hand the Dock Spiders their first loss of the second half.
