Kuni homers twice in narrow loss to Wausau<\/h5>\n

ASHWAUBENON, Wis. \u2014 The Green Bay Rockers came within inches of a dramatic comeback Monday night, but their ninth-inning surge fell just short in a 10-9 loss to the Wausau Woodchucks at Capital Credit Union Park.<\/p>\n

Green Bay got off to a hot start, as Aidan Kuni crushed a solo home run in the second inning to give the Rockers an early lead. They tacked on two more in the third thanks to a sac fly from Collin Helms and an RBI single by Eli Selga, making it 3-0. But Wausau quickly flipped the script, scoring five runs in the fourth\u2014highlighted by Josh Arquette\u2019s three-run homer and a bases-loaded walk\u2014to take a 5-3 lead.<\/p>\n

Max Humphrey brought the Rockers back to life with a two-run blast in the fifth, tying the game 5-5, but Wausau answered with a crushing five-run sixth inning that included a two-RBI single from Christian Smith-Johnson and a three-run shot from Noah Malone. Down 10-5, Green Bay battled back again. David Ballenilla and Kuni helped close the gap in the seventh, with Kuni\u2019s second homer of the night pulling the Rockers within two.<\/p>\n

In the ninth, the Rockers made one last push. After Eli Selga reached base, a pinch runner came around to score on Ballenilla\u2019s RBI single to right. But with the tying run aboard, Wausau closed the door to secure the one-run win.<\/p>\n

The Rockers will look to bounce back Tuesday at 6:35 PM as they wrap up their home series with the Woodchucks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
