Wisconsin Rapids\u2019 defense shuts out Lakeshore, offense puts up five runs in divisional win<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mequon, Wis. \u2013 The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (5-7) got a quality start from Nathan Hemmerling and backed it up with a strong offensive showing in a 5-0 win over the Lakeshore Chinooks (3-9).<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Rapids got on the board in the top of the first with a pair of runs on an error and a Rich Ciufo sacrifice fly. One inning later, the Rafters extended their lead to 3-0 with an RBI single by Josh Nicoloff. In the third, Rapids tacked on another run as Ciufo scored on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n

The Rafters added an insurance run in the seventh on a run scored by Richie Schiekofer to lead 5-0 heading to the eighth inning. Rapids held on to win game four of the series and split the series with divisional opponent Lakeshore.<\/p>\n

Hemmerling pitched six shutout innings, giving up just four hits and adding a strikeout to earn the win. Zack Hunsicker pitched an inning and surrendered one hit. Jimmy Borzone closed the game for Wisconsin Rapids with two innings of work.<\/p>\n

Lakeshore starter Randon Dauman is credited with the loss in 2.1 innings of work. The Rafters return home for a 4:05 matchup with the Madison Mallards Sunday afternoon, featuring a Fey Printing All-Star card giveaway at Witter Field.<\/p>\n
