Woodchucks Improve to 5-4 Over Rockers

WAUSAU, Wis. – The Rockers got their world rocked Monday night as Wausau produced 21 hits – 10 of

which being for extra bases – en route to an 18-7 win. The game would be called in the seventh due to

rain.

The bats came to life for Wausau (3-3/23-18) as they would start the game off strong with five runs in the

first two innings. Jesse Donohoe (Georgia State) would be the cause of four, hitting a couple two-run

home runs.

Green Bay (3-4/24-19) would not be able to stop the Woodchucks as they would score eight more in the

third. Brennan Holt (Oklahoma State) would hit a three-run home run, his first of the season and would be

shortly followed by Mark Shallenberger (Evansville) hitting a two-RBI double where he would be thrown

out at home.

Shallenberger would redeem himself though, as he hit his third home run of the season in the fourth,

making the score 16-0 at the time.

The Rockers would score a combined seven in the fifth and sixth – which was enough to make the game

somewhat interesting – but wouldn’t be nearly enough.

Another important thing to note is that Colin Brueggemann (Oklahoma State) now is on a 15-game hit

streak, as he extended it with his first inning single.

Key Moments:

Every Woodchuck in the initial batting order reached base at least twice. This happened after Christian

Mitchelle’s (Central Michigan) single in the sixth.

Dalton Pearson (Georgia State) had his 14th multi-hit game of the season as well as his sixth with two-plus

extra base hits. He was 2/3 in five at-bats with a triple, a double, two walks and four runs.

Donohoe surpassed 40 hits on the season with his three Monday, joining Pearson as the only two

Woodchucks to surpass that mark this season. He finished the game 3/4 with the previously mentioned

home runs, a double, four RBIs, a walk and four runs.

Brent Widder (Evansville) hit two of the 10 team extra base hits for his third and fourth doubles on the

season.

Up Next:

Wausau will remain home Tuesday to face the Green Bay Rockers again with a 6:35 p.m. first pitch July

11. Tomorrow will be bang for your buck night.
