Wausau, WIS – The Woodchucks came into Fond Du Lac looking to stay hot for their third win in a row. It was a close ballgame all through the afternoon but the Chucks came through when it mattered most. Down 5-3 in the top of the 7th, the Woodchucks came through with a huge three run inning to put the team up 6-5.
Chucks starting pitcher Orsen Josephina did a nice job to keep the team in the game after getting behind early. With the team down 3-1 in the top of the 5th, it was leftfielder Justin Neo who came through with a huge RBI triple. He also came around to score on a throwing error from the Dock Spiders. Neo added to his big day with a huge RBI single up the middle to fuel a three run 7th inning for the Chucks.
Great relief pitching from Drew Holweger, Tyler Jones, and Lenny Gwizdala held the one run lead as the Chucks held on for their 3rd straight win.
