Green Bay finished third in the first half standings, but look to get back on track against a hot Loggers squad. The game is slated for 6:35.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Henry Irwin (Modesto CC) will be making his first start of the season. Irwin has been a reliever throughout the first half for the Rockers but will have an opportunity to open up tonight\u2019s game. He has a 7.82 ERA through his 12.2 innings pitched. The righty has had some issues with control. He has walked nine batters this season, but pairs that with his 15 strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Loggers will go with Tanner Thomas (Louisville). He has a 5.87 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP this summer. Thomas has seen Green Bay already this season over in Copeland Park. He tossed three innings and allowed four runs. The Rockers will look to get after him early again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rocker bats have done a great job of generating early offensive production. Yesterday against Fond du Lac, they plated three in the third, two in the fifth, and one in each of the seventh and eighth innings. Green Bay has had their offensive issues, but with some new bats in the lineup, the hope is to see more consistent scoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">JT Starkus is one of the new batters for Green Bay. He will be playing first base today for Josh Merrill\u2019s crew. He batted .385 in the spring at Cal State Monterey Bay and clocked 13 home runs. The powerful right-handed bat is one that Green Bay will be happy to have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rockers continue their homestand by hosting the Loggers again tomorrow, July 1.
