WAUSAU WINS NINTH GAME OF 2026 AS UNSTOPPABLE OFFENSE LEADS THE WAY AGAIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

WAUSAU, WI\u2014 The day after the Woodchucks scored 29 runs to break the Northwoods League record, they decided they had some more left in the tank to showcase, scoring 17 runs in a seven-run win over Wisconsin Rapids.<\/p>\n

Wausau\u2019s Dawson Harman (South Carolina\/Transfer Portal) continued to cut Wisconsin Rapids apart, going 3-3 today while reaching base all five times that he came to the plate. Harman registered six RBIs in the win, his second game with six runs driven in against the Rafters this season. Harman\u2019s childhood friend, Dylan LaPointe (Mercer) was electric as well, going 3-4 with four RBIs, and three runs scored.<\/p>\n

Strong pitching was sparse throughout the game, but the back of Wausau\u2019s bullpen made the difference in the late innings. Brady Wright (Santa Fe CC\/Tampa) earned his third win of the summer with 2.2 innings of work, allowing just one run in the process. Jack Garvey (New Orleans) and Reece Clapp (Illinois State) would follow Wright up with one scoreless inning apiece.<\/p>\n

THE HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a twist from recent games, it was Wausau who had a hole to climb out of early, after the Rafter hit two home runs in the first to go in front, 4-0. The Woodchucks responded immediately, as Dylan LaPoint and Dawson Harman got their first hits of the day, and each drove in runs in a three run bottom of the first, which made it a one-run game.<\/p>\n

The Woodchucks took their first lead of the game in the third inning, with three more runs, two of them coming on a bases loaded walk for Harman and a bases loaded hit-by-pitch from Caleb Karll (Montevallo). The Rafters tied the game in the top of the fourth at 6-6 with another home run, but Wausau took the lead for good in the bottom half with four more runs, highlighted by a bases-clearing double for Dawson Harman.<\/p>\n

The two teams traded runs in the fifth, with Wisconsin Rapids pulling within one with a three-run home run to make it 10-9, and Wausau extending the lead to three in the bottom half thanks to a two-out, two-RBI single by Dylan LaPointe. Both teams got one run each in the sixth, with Caleb Karll (Montevallo) providing Wausau\u2019s run on an RBI single. Then, in the eighth, Wausau got the extra insurance they needed, tagging on the final four runs of the game, with Dawson Harman and Caleb Karll earning RBIs in the frame.<\/p>\n
