A five-run second gave them a three-run lead, as they proceeded to outscore the Ignite 12-4 over the last six frames. The Ignite stuck around with two runs in the fourth, one on a Brookly Hofer (North Dakota) RBI single, but the Honeybees&#8217; bats were too explosive for Wausau to handle, ending with a final score of 13-7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wausau Ignite will end the season with a 7-14 record at home, and will prepare for their final game of the summer in a matchup against the La Crosse Steam on Friday, Aug. 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you, Ignite fans, for all your support and cheering during our inaugural season of Wausau Ignite Softball!
