Green Bay dropped another tough loss last night at 9-8, and will look to even the series at Kapco Park.
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – The Rockers, who now have lost three straight games, find themselves in fourth place in the Great Lakes west, one of the Northwoods’ League toughest divisions. They currently sit 2.5 games back of the leading Wausau Woodchucks.
After another blown lead last night in a game in which the Rockers lead 5-0, Green Bay will turn to returner Alex LePage, who will make his third start and his fourth appearance. In three appearances, LePage has posted a 9.00 ERA with seven innings of total work. LePage was unable to make it out of the first inning in his season debut against the Woodchucks, and has yet to pitch more than four innings.
Jackson Kobylarczyk will be on the mound for Lakeshore. Kobylarczyk, who has also worked in three games, has posted a 4.26 ERA thus far, with 10 strikeouts to just four walks. The freshman will be pitching in his home park, as Kobylarczyk just finished his freshman season at Concordia University in Mequon. A bright spot for Green Bay has been their success against right-handed starting pitching, with a 6-4 record.
After last night’s results, four of the last five Rocker games have been decided by two runs or less, with Green Bay winning just one game in that streak.
