Green Bay scored in five of the nine innings. David Ballenilla was the most productive bat in the Rockers lineup, tallying four RBIs on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He got Green Bay\u2019s scoring started as he plated Max Humphrey with a sacrifice fly. Ballenilla had two sac flies in the game, bringing his total to four in the past two games. He also knocked a 2-RBI single in the fifth inning. Green Bay led by as many as seven runs in the ball game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ben Fishel added to the Rockers score with an RBI single that fell in shallow center field. Fishel\u2019s all-field approach has been a big part of the Rockers offense. Humphrey added another run to the scoreboard with a shot deep down the left field line. That solo blast was Humphrey\u2019s third of the summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Caden Crask-Weeks looked good in his sixth start of the summer. His changeup had great drop all afternoon, and the high fastball was fanning Dock Spider hitters left and right. He pitched four innings and only allowed two hits in his scoreless appearance. Kaden Straily, Henry Irwin and Zach Tenn all saw time out in relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Payton Fort, who had two home runs in yesterday\u2019s ball game, drove in Mike Dee for an added bit of insurance in the seventh inning. Fort has continued to put up great numbers down the stretch in the first half.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite a late rally by Fond du Lac, scoring six runs in the final four frames, the Rockers held on to grab their second straight victory on the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison and Wausau continue to battle for first place in the Great Lakes West while the Rockers try to continue winning down the stretch, boosting that overall record for the second half.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rockers return home on Monday, June 29, hosting the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders.
