Eau Claire, WI – On a Monday night, the Bucks ripped their fifth win in a row with a game against the Eau Claire Express by a score of 12-6.
This game was dictated by the big fly, as the two teams combined for four home runs. Catcher Brennan Hudson got it started in the top of the fourth with a solo shot to left-center field, which was then countered by a three-run blast from Express infielder Ragan Pinnow. Just two batters later infielder Brigs Richartz hit a solo shot over the right field wall. The Bucks hit another solo blast in the top of the sixth by first baseman Marcus Heusohn, who would follow that with another three-run big fly as part of a five-spot eighth inning which sealed the game for the Bucks.
Both managers deployed a plethora of pitchers, combining for 10 total arms touching the mound. RHP Chaney Trout grabbed the win for the Bucks in another inning-plus outing.
The Bucks head back home to face the Rochester Honkers in a home-and-home series with the first pitch from Riverfront Stadium set for 6:35 PM
