The Rockers suffer their second sweep of July
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – Green Bay’s offense started quickly, scoring a run in the first off a balk from Kingfish starter Michael Guerrero (Glendale CC), that plated David Ballenilla (Tennessee Wesleyan). Kenosha then turned right around and scored a few of their own, after Hunter Snyder (Columbia) brought home two runs on a single.
Both teams then failed to score for the next two innings, until a four-run 4th inning helped Kenosha grow their advantage. A single from Will Matuszak (Boston College) and some Green Bay fielding errors scored two, and one batter later, Jackson Brewer (Columbia) mashed a two-run shot over the wall in right field, making it 6-1 Kingfish.
The Rockers got closer with a four-run affair of their own in the fifth, highlighted by Alejandro Covas (Kent State) driving in two runs with a double. However, the momentum was short-lived, as Kenosha came right back with two runs of their own in the bottom half of the 5th.
The Rockers were shut down for the last four innings, scoring no runs and striking out 8 times. The Rockers fell to 10-9 in the second half and 28-25 overall on the season. The loss also makes it seven straight losses, and brings the Rockers’ road record to 7-17.
