He reached on a walk and moved to 3<sup>rd<\/sup> base on his 18<sup>th<\/sup> and 19<sup>th<\/sup> stolen bases of the season, which is 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in the Northwoods League. He scored on a <strong>Griffin Conine <\/strong>(Duke) single to right field.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThunder Bay tied the game up in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> inning. Ontario native, <strong>Mitch Bigras <\/strong>(Boston College) led off the inning with a line drive double down the right field line. Two batters later, he scored on a groundout to the third baseman by <strong>Andrew Fregia <\/strong>(Sam Houston State).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Michael Papierski <\/strong>(LSU) continued the momentum for the Border Cats the next inning with a leadoff walk. He scored from 1<sup>st<\/sup> base on a deep double to left-center by <strong>Andy Weber <\/strong>(Virginia). <strong>Weber <\/strong>came into score two batters later on an infield single by <strong>Joe Gellenbeck <\/strong>(Xavier).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLa Crosse got a run back after <strong>Cullen Large <\/strong>(William &amp; Mary) doubled to open the bottom of the 6<sup>th<\/sup>. He came into score on a groundout by Loggers&rsquo; first baseman <strong>Kyle Plantier <\/strong>(UC-Santa Barbara), cutting the Border Cat lead to one run.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat advancement was quickly erased the next inning by a solo shot by <strong>Michael Papierski <\/strong>(LSU), off the roof of the Interstate Roofing Home Run Haven Cabin. <strong>Andrew Fregia<\/strong> added on to the lead with a home run for himself, just to the left of the Gordy&rsquo;s Cabin in right-center. &nbsp;&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Tom Mullin <\/strong>(Penn State) came into pitch in relief of <strong>Langan<\/strong> in the 6<sup>th<\/sup> and went the rest of the way, picking up his 1<sup>st<\/sup> save of the season. He gave up 1 run on just 2 hits in 4 innings. Thunder Bay took the second half opener, 5-2.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Brandon Langan <\/strong>(New Mexico) finally gets his first win of the season (1-5) with 5 innings of work. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He walked 2 and got 1 strikeout.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Andrew Perez <\/strong>(South Florida) pitched well, but took his first loss (1-1) of the season. He went 5.2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits. He walked 3 and struck out 2 Border Cats.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLa Crosse drops both half openers of the season (0-1), with a 17-20 overall record. That would make it their 3<sup>rd<\/sup> straight loss of the season as well. Thunder Bay earns a winning record for the first time this season (1-0) after an ugly first half to land with a 7-28 overall record. The Loggers get a chance at revenge tomorrow night against the Border Cats. Game time is 7:05. Make sure to bring your mobile device for Social Media Night!
