The bats came alive in the Rockers series opener versus the Dock Spiders
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – Powered by a four run fifth inning, the Rockers take down the Dock Spiders for the fourth time this season. The offense looked sharp throughout the whole contest, securing the 9-3 win.
Green Bay struck early against Fond du Lac starter, Zak White. Eli Selga and David Ballenilla each had an RBI single in the first inning to get the scoring started. The lead was cut in half on a solo shot from Jaden Rose of the Dock Spiders.
The Rockers then bounced back in a big way, plating four runs in the fifth inning. Coleman Lewis and Max Humphrey were the big contributors in that frame as the base running for Green Bay took advantage of the mistakes from the Fond du Lac outfield.
Green Bay led 6-1 when the Dock Spiders crawled back into things with a two-run shot from Miles Vandenheuvel to make it 6-3. He took JT Guerrero yard, who had a solid start for the Rockers. Guerrero threw six innings and allowed three runs on five hits. He struck out four in the outing.
The Rockers then piled on some more, scoring a run in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings. Ballenilla and RJ Furcal Jr. each had a solo shot the other way. The bats continue to stay hot at home. Ballenilla now has two home runs in his first two days back with the Rockers.
