Waterloo, IA – The Waterloo Bucks snapped the La Crosse Loggers’ four-game win streak as they took game two in the series, 7-6.

The Loggers struck first again in the top of the second inning with a sacrifice fly and an RBI double from catcher Jack Collins to get ahead 2-0. Bucks starter Landen Harless would only give up three runs to the Loggers over five innings of baseball.

The Bucks got the game-tying runs off of Loggers starter Casey Burfield in the bottom of the fifth inning with a pair of RBI singles from outfielders Lucas Moore and Larry Edwards Jr. That wouldn’t be the end of the offensive for Edwards Jr. as one inning later he cracked a three-run homerun which was his first of the season.

Ben Wilmes also hit an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth to give the Bucks a 6-4 lead.

The Loggers add two more runs on another RBI double from Jack Collins and the game is tied at 7 all headed to the bottom of the seventh.

With the game tied after the seventh inning stretch, catcher Brennan Hudson hits a towering game-lead solo home run. This is Hudson’s third homerun in as many games and his second at Riverfront Stadium.
Reliever Chaney Trout ended the game with a 1.2 IP save giving the Bucks their first win at home in 2024.
