Green Bay surrenders two walk-off home runs

ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Green Bay Rockers (4-5, 26-16) took two losses on Tuesday at the hands of the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (4-5, 21-23), both on walk-off home runs.

The Rockers entered Game 1 of the day with a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the tenth inning, but failed to record an out as Fond du Lac loaded the bases and launched a grand slam over the left field wall to steal the continuation game by a score of 6-4.

Game 2 saw Green Bay jump out to an 11-3 lead behind a nine-spot from the Rockers in the fourth inning. The Dock Spiders continued to battle back, however, and in the bottom of the ninth, tied the game after the Rockers failed to turn two to end things. With a doubleheader looming, Eric Jeon was called into the game to find the final out and gave up a two-run walk-off homer as Fond du Lac mounted their second comeback of the day to win 14-12.

Green Bay will return home tomorrow for a doubleheader against the Lakeshore Chinooks for their last action at home before the All-Star break.
