Yesterday, the Rockers took on the Madison Mallards (20-8) on the road. Makani Tanaka (Oral Roberts) continued his production at the top of the order right away. As the leadoff man, he hit his fourth home run of the season to give Green Bay a 1-0 lead. In the second, Blade Carver (Northern Oklahoma) brought in a second run with an RBI single.
Madison managed to take the lead 4-2 in the bottom of the fourth, but the Rockers got it right back with a Jake Bold (Princeton) RBI single, and a Lane Allen (Blinn CC) two-run homer to put Green Bay back in the driver’s seat. But the Mallards managed to continue their scoring run and ended up outlasting the Rockers to win 11-5.
Tonight, Caleb Ruter (Colorado Mesa) will start on the mound for the Rockers. This will be his fifth start for Green Bay. In 17.0 innings pitched, he’s managed to strike out 14 batters and only walk ten.
