It was their second straight run-rule win and fourth total.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ignite were already in the driver&#8217;s seat just four batters in, as four straight walks brought home the go-ahead run. Wausau\u2019s plate discipline earned them five runs in the first thanks to six walks and a hit by pitch in the frame, with two more coming on an RBI single from Mia Johnson (UW-Parkside) and a sacrifice fly from Victoria Flores (Northern Kentucky).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau had seven hits, no strikeouts, and were awarded 11 walks in total to help them cruise to the finish line. Pitcher Riley Stiles (Lake Forest) threw the last four innings of the contest, allowing just one run. Those four innings have put her at 101 IP on the year, which leads the league and is just 17.2 innings shy of Mackenzie Willis\u2019s record from last summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Monday, the Ignite will take on the Minot Honeybees once again at 6:05 PM.
