Woodchucks Take Down Dock Spiders 11-6

WAUSAU, Wis. – Scoring 11 runs off nine hits was able to get the job done for Wausau Monday night at Athletic Park, as they were able to beat Fond du Lac 11-6.

After the Woodchucks (13-19/33-34) took an early 6-1 lead, they would see that lead diminish after five unanswered across back-to-back innings by the Dock Spiders.

But a four-run Woodchuck fifth would give them the winning lead as they would not allow another run to Fond du Lac (15-17/28-39) the rest of the way.

Key Moments:

Christian Mitchelle (Cincinnati) had a three-hit night, going 3/3 with a double, an RBI, two runs and a stolen base.

Ryan Blanchard (Chico State (CA)) hit his first Northwoods League home run, a solo shot that gave Wausau a 2-1 lead in the second. He also scored the leading seventh run on a triple steal in the fifth.

Speaking of steals, Wausau stole a total of 10 bases in Monday’s win.

Up Next:

Wausau heads down to Herr-Baker Field one last time Tuesday to play the Dock Spiders for the season finale between the two. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. Aug 8.
