Woodchucks Take Game Two With Ease

WAUSAU, Wis. – Wausau would score a season high number of runs to defeat Fond du Lac Wednesday

evening at Athletic Park 16-8.

The Woodchucks (21-16/1-1) would start this game with bats swinging, scoring seven in the first three

innings. The first runs would come from a two-RBI single thanks to Michael Maginnis (Georgia State),

scoring Jesse Donohoe (Georgia State) and Colin Brueggemann (Oklahoma State).

(Evansville) would get in on the fun by hitting his first of two home runs in the game – a three-run home

run, making the score 7-0.
