Rafters look to even up season the series with the Loggers

La Crosse, Wis- The Rafters fell to the Loggers 7-1 Thursday night at Historic Witter Field. After a 66-minute rain delayed the start of the game, La Crosse jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1^st inning and never looked back. Chris Falwell took the loss for the Rafters, while Ryan Marks picked up the win in relief for the Loggers. Wisconsin Rapids moved to 13-15 with the loss, while La Crosse improved to 17-13 with the win.

The Rafters look to split the two game series with La Crosse as they send out the right-hander from Dublin, Ohio Adam Hall (Xavier) to the mound. Hall is 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA this summer. He picked up the first Opening Day win in Rafters history against the Woodchucks on May 27^th, and has looked strong all season as opponents are only hitting .220 against Hall in 2015. Graham Speaker (Quincy University) will toe the rubber for the Loggers. He is 2-1 with a 7.71 ERA for La Crosse this summer.

Wisconsin Rapids will head to Madison tomorrow for a weekend series with the Mallards. The Rafters then return home for a day-night doubleheader against the Eau Claire Express to conclude the first half of the Northwoods League 2015 season.
