The Rockers are three games back in the race for the Great Lakes West First Half title, but aren’t out of it yet.
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – The Rockers return home from a disappointing road trip that saw them go 1-3, facing the Rafters and Loggers. Now their sights are set on the Woodchucks, as Green Bay attempts to make one final push to clinch a postseason spot.
It is a Max Wagar starting day, as the righthander will look for some bright spots after struggling in his last outing. The redshirt sophomore, who has a 4.11 ERA in four starts, had his worst outing his last time around, giving up five runs in one and one-third innings of work against the Kingfish. Despite the Rockers having played four games against the Woodchucks, this will be Wagar’s first appearance vs. Wausau.
The Woodchucks will toss Carter White, a lefthander pitcher from Eastern Michigan. White has one outing vs. Green Bay already, in which he spoiled the Rockers home opener with five innings of one-hit baseball. In total, White has worked 16.2 innings, with a 1-0 record and a 4.32 ERA, with his lone winning coming against the Rockers.
Green Bay, who has lost four out of their last five, will try and get a massive victory, as they currently sit three games back in the division race. Another game to keep an eye on is the Mallards hosting the Rafters at 6:05 pm.
