The event is part of the Northwoods League All-Star week festivities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Woodchucks are one of 11 baseball teams to be represented in the Home Run Challenge. Only the Woodchucks and Mallards have multiple baseball players from their respective teams in the event. The Woodchucks have now had seven plays participate in the Home Run Challenge since 2021, and multiple participants in each of the last three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Max Soliz Jr. becomes just the second Northwoods League player in the last five years to participate in the Home Run Challenge multiple times. The only other player to achieve the feat was Brendan Bobo from Wisconsin Rapids, who participated in both 2022 and 2023. Soliz is currently has nine home runs this summer, which is second among all Northwoods League players. He\u2019s also coming into the event hot, hitting a home run in three of his last four starts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year when Soliz participated in the Home Run Challenge, he was the first hitter that stepped to the plate. Soliz hit eight home runs in his round, but was not credited with his extra thirty seconds that he earned in his round. Nearly two hours later, Soliz stepped back up to the plate and hit four more home runs with his extra thirty seconds, ultimately finishing with 12, which was second best among all Great Lakes hitters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Noah Malone is second on the Woodchucks with six home runs this season. In his first season in the Northwoods League, Malone became just the 24<sup>th<\/sup> hitter in league history to hit three home runs in a single game, when he accomplished the feat back on June 17 against Lakeshore. Malone has already hit a home run at Warner Park this year, a solo home run over the right-center field wall when he was playing against the Madison Mallards. Both Soliz will participate in the home run challenge and the All-Star Game next week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malone and Soliz aren\u2019t the only representatives from Wausau in the Home Run Challenge this year. Wausau Ignite standouts Mia Johnson and Riley Schwisow have been selected as two of just six softball players participating in this year\u2019s event. However, they will be participating against the Woodchucks in this event, as both Schwisow and Johnson will suit up for the Great Plains Division.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In last year\u2019s Home Run Challenge, the Great Lakes Division beat the Great Plains 78-74 at IMG Field in Mankato, MN. Wausau outfielder Max Galvin (Miami) won the baseball MVP award for the event, hitting 15 home runs during his round, more than any other player.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year\u2019s Home Run Challenge will begin around 7:00 p.m. on July 15 at Warner Park, and fans can watch the event on NWL+. Below if the official press release from the Northwoods League regarding the event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Nine inning competition will feature hitters from both baseball and Northwoods League Softball<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rochester, Minn. \u2014 The Northwoods League has announced the participants for the 2025 Northwoods League All-Star Home Run Challenge which will take place the day before the Northwoods League All-Star game on Tuesday, July 15 at Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Six participants from each of the Great Lakes and the Great Plains divisions will be joined by six players from the second season of Northwoods League Softball.
