That\u2019s when Green Bay infielder Sam Miller (Columbia) stepped up to the plate and blasted his fourth home run of the summer to give his squad a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Mud Puppies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Rockers didn\u2019t start the game off as hot as they closed it, however. A solo-dinger from Minnesota\u2019s Lincoln Berry (Minnesota State-Mankato) put the Mud Puppies up 1-0 in just the second at-bat of the contest. Then in the third inning, Green Bay gave up four runs en route to a 5-0 deficit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s when the Rockers flipped a switch, though. In the bottom of the third, Mason Eckelman (Ohio State) crushed his first home run of the season to chip into the deficit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shortly after that in the bottom of the fourth, Matteo Matthews (Wagner) launched his second home run of the summer over the right field wall at Capital Credit Union Park. With that pair of jacks from him and Eckelman, Green Bay went from down 5-0 to down just 5-4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">From there, Sam Miller walked the Rockers off to give the team their ninth win of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Miller\u2019s heroics were made possible, in large part, by the Green Bay Bullpen. Henry Chabot (Chapman) tossed nearly five innings of relief, giving up no earned runs on just five hits. The right-hander also had five strikeouts on the day, which gives him a team-best 24 this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Nainoa Cardinez (Hawaii) threw one-and-two-third-innings with no hits allowed. The returning 2023 champion picked up his first win of the season with that effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Green Bay and Minnesota square off in the second leg of today\u2019s doubleheader tonight at 6:35 p.m. The Rockers are slated to start Mikel Howell (Southern Arkansas) while the Mud Puppies are rolling with Liam Martin (Dakota County Technical College).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s also Thirsty Thursday at the ballpark, so fans can get half-priced domestic taps through the fifth innings while Green Bay and Minnesota duke it out for the second time today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Single game tickets are on sale now.
