In a game that saw four lead changes, five home-runs and 15 runs, the Chucks came out victorious with a 8-7 win.<\/p>\n
The Chucks sent Caleb White (Georgia Southern) to start the game. He struggled through three innings and allowed four runs, one off a three run HR in the third. He would be pulled after three and Garrett Brogdon (Simpson University) would come in to make his fifth appearance.<\/p>\n
The Woodchucks did score one run in the third after Max Galvin (U of Miami) led off with a double. He was batted around by Luke Pemberton (Pepperdine University) who found his first RBI as a Woodchuck.<\/p>\n
The Chucks had some new faces today, one being Edian Espinal (Chipola College) who found his first hit as a Chuck, a leadoff double in the 6th<\/sup>. A new face to 2024 but not to the Chucks, returner Colin Bruggemann (OK St.) batted him in on a fielder\u2019s choice. Chucks trailed 2-4 after six.<\/p>\n The Chucks would tie up the game in the 7th<\/sup> after a leadoff walk and two perfect bunt base hits by Christian Smith-Johnson (Texas A&M Corpus-Christi) and Jake Berkland (Mankato St. U) loaded the bases. Isaac Webb (Texas A&M Corpus-Christi) and Max Galvin singled to tie the game. The Chucks had trailed up to that point, and they were notched at four heading to the bottom of the 7th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Garrett Brogdon would pitch the 7th<\/sup>, his fourth inning of work. He found two strikeouts to reach five on the day. He did allow a solo homerun, and the Chucks trailed once again 4-5 heading to the 8th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n The Chucks would grab the lead right back after Luke Pemberton singled and Christian Smith-Johnson hit his first HR of the season, a no-doubt two run shot to left. They would give up two solo HRs in the bottom half, and trailed 6-7 in the 9th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Two hits brought up Bryce Hubbard (Georgia U) to pinch hit with runners on third and second. In a 0-1 count, Hubbard made it three straight games with an RBI by batting home two on a clutch single. The Chucks grabbed the lead with two outs and led 8-7 in the 9th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Evan Alwine (FIU), who allowed two HR in the 8th<\/sup> would pitch the 9th<\/sup>. He would strikeout out two and the Chucks won 8-7.<\/p>\n The Chucks will play three straight at home starting tomorrow with post game fireworks as they welcome in the Fond Du Lac Dock Spiders!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a game that saw four lead changes, five home-runs and 15 runs, the Chucks came out victorious with a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":18312,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
