Green Bay looks to recover after yesterday’s 11-7 loss against the Woodchucks
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – After falling to the Woodchucks 11-7 yesterday, the Rockers travel back to Wausau for their fourth matchup of the season, and the finale of a two-game road series.
Last night, the Woodchucks got out to an early 9-1 lead in the second inning. Mack Crowley (Minnesota State-Mankato) came into the game in the third and threw five scoreless innings, only giving up one hit during that span. On offense, Green Bay managed to make up the gap, picking up three runs in five innings, which included a Payton Mansfield (Jacksonville State) home run. Wausau tacked on two more in the bottom of the eighth, but Nick Harms (Case Western) got three back with a bases-clearing triple in the top of the ninth. The Rockers couldn’t get any more runs back after that, with the final holding at 11-7.
Jake Toporek (Wagner) will make his first start for Green Bay tonight. He has made six relief appearances throwing 15.1 innings, picking up 19 strikeouts and just five walks.
