ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Green Bay Rockers continue their homestand and open a two-game series against the Rockford Rivets tonight at Capital Credit Union Park. First pitch is slated for 6:35pm.
Green Bay walked away with a 13-1 victory last night to complete the series sweep of the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters.

Maddox Long got the win on the mound as he finished six innings of play, only allowing two hits and one walk, while striking out eight Rafters. His performance received Northwoods League Pitcher of the Night honors from the league.
