Green Bay will play at Historic Simmons Field for the first time since 2024
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – The Rockers, hot off a two game sweep of both the Battle Jacks and the Rafters, will look for their 5th straight win. After splitting the first series at home in mid-June, both of the Rockers games will kick off at 6:35 pm in Kenosha.
The Rockers totalled 12 runs in their last game, and the offense began to heat up. A player of the night honor for Alejandro Covas made him the 5th different Rocker to win the award this season, and the 6th time the Rockers have been given the honor overall.
Making his third start of the season, Mason Avant (Tallahassee State CC) will be on the bump. So far this year, Avant holds a 12.71 ERA and a 0-1 record. The most innings he’s gone is 3.0, and he will look to improve that number against the Kingfish. In each of his outings, he’s allowed four earned runs on seven hits total.
In the other bullpen, Kenosha will turn to a solid arm in Cristian Banuelos (Glendale CC), who is making his third appearance this season. Banuelos has started the second half 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA. He’s allowed just one run on five hits and has totaled 11 strikeouts across five innings of work.
In the standings, the Rockers now sit just three games behind Lakeshore after their loss to the Rafters on the 19th. Today, Lakeshore travels to Madison for a doubleheader; the Woodchucks host Duluth.
