Insurance Runs Help the Woodchucks

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. – Another quick, defensive filled game between Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids,

although this time it was Wausau picking up a 4-1 win Sunday at Witter Field.

Only one run was scored the whole game until the seventh when Wausau (9-5) struck first in the fourth.

Both teams would each add another in the seventh, and just like Saturday the score was 2-1 heading into

the final inning.

The visitors would be the team to score two in the ninth this time around, as Brent Widder (Evansville) hit

an RBI double to score Brady Jurgella (Minnesota). Widder would then be scored in the next at-bat as Mike

Maginnis (Georgia State) hit an RBI single.

Sunday’s win was the first for Wausau over Wisconsin Rapids (8-6) this season, and it also puts the

Woodchucks atop the Great Lake West heading into the new week.

Key Moments:

After going seven hitless innings just a week ago, Ethan Pecko (Towson) hit the mound again, and was on it

Sunday. He once again went seven full innings, striking out 11 while only allowing one run and four hits.

Widder’s RBI double was a part of three total hits in Sunday’s win.

Between Pecko and Colton Mercer (New Orleans), the two Woodchuck pitchers, the defense went onetwo-

three against the Rafters six different times.

Up Next:

Wausau remains on the road, as they will head to Green Bay for a third matchup with the Rockers Monday.

First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. June 12.
