The Rafters are 4-1 at Witter Field this summer

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. – Wisconsin Rapids once again hosts the Kalamazoo Growlers on Monday night, looking to pick up its fourth straight win at Witter Field.

The Rafters snapped a two-game losing streak Sunday night with a 9-2 victory over the Growlers. Wisconsin Rapids, who has now won three-in-a-row at home, scored in six of their eight innings, including five innings straight to start the game. Jake Sandlin (Georgia College) picked up four hits, three doubles and a home run to lead the Rafters’ hitters, while starting pitcher Jack Riley (UConn) put together a quality start, tossing six innings and allowing two runs.
