That set the stage for Max Humphrey, who launched a two-run homer to left to give the Rockers a 2\u20130 lead right out of the gate.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Green Bay extended their lead in the third thanks to Parker Martin, who crushed a solo home run to make it 3\u20130. The bats kept rolling into the fourth, with Jake Altman roping a double, but the Rivets responded with a three-run frame of their own to tie things up, 3\u20133.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The momentum shifted again in the fifth. Mazza showed patience at the plate and drew a key walk, and thanks to some heads-up baserunning by both Mazza and Humphrey, the Rockers scratched across two more runs to retake the lead, 5\u20133.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Rivets weren\u2019t done yet. They applied pressure with aggressive base running in the sixth and capitalized on a passed ball to close the gap to 5\u20134. But Parker Martin came through again in the bottom half of the inning with a sharply hit double down the third base line to keep Green Bay\u2019s energy high heading into the final innings.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After a quiet seventh and eighth, the tension built in the top of the ninth. Jack Fortner took the mound and recorded two massive strikeouts. With a runner on third and the game on the line, the Rivets made a bold attempt to steal home \u2014 but the Rockers defense shut the door, tagging out the runner to seal the win.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With the 5\u20134 victory, the Rockers will pack up and hit the road for a two-game series in Wausau against the Woodchucks . They\u2019ll return home on June 1st for a 1:05 p.m. first pitch against Battle Creek. Gates open at 12:05, fans come early for a performance by Rodello the Kidd. Also on June 1st the Rockers will be hosting a 1K beer run\/walk with a cowbell giveaway presented by Integrity Decking.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Green Bay Rockers are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
