ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Green Bay Booyah fell to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at Capital Credit Union Park on Wednesday, 13-4.
The Booyah quickly fell behind as the Rafters plated seven runs before Green Bay took a swing. In the second, after a booming triple by Brett Blair (Stanford), Nathan Blasick (West Virginia) hit a sacrifice fly that scored Blair.
After Wisconsin Rapids scored another in the third, Green Bay scored three runs when Spencer Weston (Western Oregon), Tristin Garcia (Western Kentucky) and Johnny Hipsman (Richmond) each picked up RBIs that cut the deficit to four.
