One run was a bases-loaded knock from Riley Schwisow (Northwestern State) to bring home the first run of the day. Then two batters later, Mia Johnson (UW-Parkside) mashed a grand slam to centerfield, her eighth home run of the summer and second grand slam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With that one swing, Johnson retook the Northwoods League lead for RBIs with 37 and tied the lead for home runs at eight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Riley Stiles (Lake Forest) and the Ignite field took care of the rest, holding the Habaneros to just three hits and one earned run through seven innings. Stiles is now tied for the fourth-most strikeouts in the league this summer with 33.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wausau Ignite return to Athletic Park on Friday, June 25th for a single-admission double header against the Lacrosse Steam at 5:05 pm CT.
