The win moves Waterloo&#8217;s magic number to one, with a Great Plains-East first half championship one Bucks win or one Eau Claire Express loss away.<\/p>\n<p>Thunder Bay began Canada Day with a two-spot in the first. Blake Berry (2-5, R, 2 2B) belted a ground-rule double to lead off the second, one-hopping a smash over the right-center fence. A pair of strikeouts seemed to have the Bucks&#8217; comeback at bay, but R.J. Teijeiro (2-3, BB, 2 R, RBI, SB) laced an RBI single to left, cutting the deficit in half. Wagenseller followed with a ground-rule double that nestled between the right field wall and a sign attached to the fence. However, both Teijeiro and Wagenseller were stranded on base, keeping the Border Cats&#8217; lead at one.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Ferguson (2-4, BB, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI) led off the Bucks&#8217; third with a moonshot solo home run that sailed over Port Arthur Stadium&#8217;s video board, tying the game at two. Starter Adam Ketelsen threw up another pair of zeros until the fifth, where the Border Cats retook the lead on a single. Ketelsen did not factor in the decision, throwing 5.0 innings of four-hit, three-walk work. The lefthander allowed three runs, two earned while striking out four.<\/p>\n<p>Waterloo handed the ball off to Jimmy Smiley, who fired scoreless frames in the sixth, seventh and eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Just one day after the seventh inning became a nightmare, the Bucks reversed their luck with a four-run half prior to the stretch. Teijeiro opened the frame by drawing a walk. Wagenseller smoldered a single to right that scampered under the glove of the Border Cats&#8217; Andrew Shebloski, allowing Teijeiro to score. With Wagenseller moving to second on the same error, Bryce Wooldridge (0-4, R) laid down a sacrifice bunt try up the third base line. Oddly, Thunder Bay&#8217;s pitcher threw to third, well behind Wagenseller&#8217;s arrival at the bag. With runners on the corners, Ferguson cracked an RBI single to right, then found himself in a rundown between first and second. The home side&#8217;s first baseman misfired and hit Ferguson in the leg on a throw, allowing him to reach second as Wooldridge alertly dashed home. Following a Bennett Hostetler (2-5) bunt single, Alonzo Rubalcaba (1-5, SB) brought home Ferguson on a ground-ball double play.<\/p>\n<p>Up 6-3 in the eighth, Mike Nyisztor (1-4, R, SB) and Teijeiro smacked back-to-back singles. Not yet finished with his destruction of Border Cat pitching, Wagenseller hammered a three-run homer to left.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Smiley earned the win in relief with 3.2 innings of five-hit baseball, allowing four runs, three earned while walking one and striking out a pair. Dylan Phillips cleaned up a messy ninth by retiring the lone batter he faced, notching his first save of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Waterloo and Thunder Bay conclude both their series and the first half with a 6:05 p.m. CST start in Thunder Bay on the <a href=\"https:\/\/1650thefan.com\/\">Bucks Radio Network powered by 1650 The Fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/northwoods.bbstats.pointstreak.com\/boxscore.html?gameid=484159\">Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blake Wagenseller (3-4, 2 R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI) served as a one-man wrecking crew in the Waterloo Bucks&#8217; (19-16)  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9009,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
