Green Bay moves to just one game below .500 in the second half standings
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – After a homerun party in game one, and a walk off in game two, the mood was high in Titletown after the Rockers took down the Woodchucks 7-1 in game one, and 4-3 in game two.
In game one, the Rockers blasted five homeruns, scoring runs in each of their last four innings of action. Home runs from Aidan Kuni, Coleman Lewis, Jeremy Delamota, Landon Schaefer and John Handy helped the Rockers earn victory #22. Delamota’s blast went well into left field and over the berm directly behind the wall.
Four and two-thirds innings of one-run baseball from Fernando Palencia was another bright spot from the afternoon. His seven strikeouts and no walks really made the performance shine bright amidst many strong performances.
In game two, things were a bit closer, with the Rockers walking off things in the bottom of the 7th. Green Bay jumped on the board first with two runs in the 3rd. Wausau cut the lead in half in the 4th with a run of their own and tied it in the top half of the 6th.
Aidan Kuni and the Rockers manufactured a run in the bottom half of the 6th to set them up for victory. However, in the top of the 7th, Wausau drove home another tying run. It took just two batters in the bottom of the 7th to give Green Bay the win, after a double by Coleman Lewis gave the green light to Ben Fishel. Fishel doubled, giving the Rockers their fourth walk-off win of the season.
Tomorrow, the Rockers head to Wausau to wrap the three game set with the Woodchucks.
