Down and in need of a score to stay in the game, Riley Schwisow (Northwestern State) delivered, belting a solo homer to center field to get the scoring going. The run sparked a massive offensive inning, where Wausau put up 10 runs in their whopping 16 at-bats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fans at Athletic Park stayed behind their team as they continued to pour it on with four more runs in the third and another two added in the fourth. Up by 11 in the fifth, Wausau secured the last three outs and were able to shut the door for the run-rule victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ignite showed off their power against the Steam in game two, hitting three home runs, a triple, and two doubles across just three innings of scoring. Schwisow hit her eighth and ninth homers of the year on Friday, while Molly Fitzgerald (Missouri S&amp;T) hit her fourth on the season. Brooklyn Hofer (North Dakota) earned the triple, her second of the summer, with a line drive down the left field line and a great hustle over to third to beat the tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau split their series against La Crosse with the blowout win, which was also the highest-scoring outing in team history, topping their 14-6 victory over Mankato on July 13.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ignite start a three-day homestand against the Minot Honeybees on Sunday, July 27, at 1:05 pm CT.
