First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fans are encouraged to come prepared and still enjoy a full night of baseball and entertainment at Capital Credit Union Park. Tonight is Postgame Catch Sunday, where families are invited onto the field after the final out to play catch on the field\u2014weather permitting. Plus, the Until Dawn Trio will take the stage pregame, bringing live music and local energy to set the tone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the hill for Green Bay is Jayden Martin, a right-hander from Wallace-Hanceville Community College. Martin will make one of his first starts of the season, looking to carry the momentum from last night\u2019s big win. The Rockers found late-inning magic in Wisconsin Rapids, capped off by Eli Selga\u2019s clutch two-run homer in the ninth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rafters turn to Matthew Pinal, a lefty with strikeout potential who enters with an 0\u20131 record and an 8.10 ERA. He\u2019ll be looking to settle in early and contain a Rockers offense that\u2019s heating up at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether it\u2019s under clear skies or light drizzle, it\u2019s shaping up to be a gritty, exciting day of summer baseball in Green Bay.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\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.
