Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. \u2013 <\/strong>The Rockford Rivets (19-22) were never able to get going on offense in a 5-0 loss to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters on Tuesday night at Witter Field.<\/p>\n

For the second time in as many games the Rivets couldn\u2019t find a hit in the first three innings. Logan Michaels was able to break it up on a base hit to lead off the seventh and Ryan Cole was the only other Rivet to reach base with a double in the ninth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just need somebody to get hot,\u201d Rivets\u2019 Manager Brian Smith said, \u201cThen we can have our offense jump on their back, and we can have somebody take charge offensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper Cain took the loss for the Rivets. He allowed three hits and two runs over five innings, striking out six and walking one.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooper [Cain] did a great job keeping us in that game,\u201d Smith said, \u201cWe just need to do a better job getting runners on base.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rivets and Rafters meet again tomorrow night before the Rivets head home for games on Thursday and Friday night. First pitch tomorrow is scheduled for 7:05 PM.<\/p>\n
