WATERLOO – The home-standing Waterloo Bucks began the final week of the first half of the 2009 Northwoods League season with a 5-2 loss to the La Crosse Loggers.
It was a matter of what could have been for field manager Pete Lauritson’s crew. Waterloo (10-20) stranded 10 runners on base during the evening. La Crosse (19-12) used 12 hits, including a double and home run from Greg Holt (North Carolina), to gain the win. Holt also figured into the pitching statistics with his second save.
The Bucks offense was topped by first baseman Ryan Rieger (Santa Clara) who reached base twice and scored a run.
