Green Bay falls in Wausau again
by: Manny Rodriguez
WAUSAU, Wis. – The Green Bay Booyah fell to the Wisconsin Woodchucks in what turned into a seven-inning game, 4-3.
The Booyah got on the board first courtesy of a Nadir Lewis (Princeton) two-run home run in the third inning. The Woodchucks answered right back with two of their own in the bottom half of the same inning. The score would remain tied entering the bottom of the sixth. Then, a four hour and 19-minute rain delay followed at Athletic Park.
When play finally resumed, with the rain continuing to fall, the Woodchucks hit a two-run home run to give them a 4-2 lead. In the top of the seventh, Dalton Pearson (Georgia State) reached on an error by the third baseman to score Nadir Lewis and make it a one-run game. Pearson then advanced to second on a walk issued to Dayson Croes, but the umpires then called for a rain delay once more.
The game was called soon afterwards as an official game and a 4-3 loss to the Booyah. Wednesday’s second game has been rescheduled for July 29.
