Green Bay fell to Royal Oak 4-1
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Rockers fell to the Leprechauns in their first matchup in franchise history 4-1. Despite the loss, Green Bay relief pitchers were a bright spot on the team.
Kam Douglas (Georgia State) struck out the side in the first inning of his start. However, he threw 35 pitches against the six batters he faced. Per league rules, if a pitcher throws 35 or more in an inning, he must be taken out of the game, thus thrusting Green Bay’s bullpen into action early on.
Henry Chabot (Chapman) came into the game in the second inning and struck out seven batters while allowing only three hits. But during his five-inning outing, Cam Hollobaugh (Walsh University) hit a triple in the fourth and Michael Lareau (Belmont) homered in the fifth to put Royal Oak up 3-0.
New addition Nathan Blasick (New Orleans) entered the game in the game in the seventh and went the remainder of the game. During his stint he only gave up one hit and grabbed his first strikeout of the 2024 season. Overall, Rockers pitchers finished with 11 strikeouts and only four hits allowed.
Green Bay was able to get a run in the bottom of the eighth thanks to a Mateo Matthews (Wagner) single that scored Lane Allen (Blinn CC). But the Rockers couldn’t get any more back, with the game ending 4-1.
Jagger Edwards (Columbia) will look to continue the run of stellar pitching tomorrow. In his previous start, he went 4.0 innings and racked up seven strikeouts, while allowing only one run. First pitch is slated for 1:05 pm.
