The day after a rain-shortened loss, the Rafters look to bounce back.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wisconsin Rapids, WI \u2013 The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters fell to 7-2 last night against the Rockford Rivets in the series opener. They look to recover tonight in game two versus the Rivets at 6:05pm.<\/p>\n

Last night, the Rafters were unable to withstand a three-run Rivet first inning, despite outhitting Rockford six to three in a shortened six-inning game. Christian Sepulveda\u2019s fourth inning solo home run was the only run for the Rafters as they fell 3-1.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s game matches up the No. 1 and No. 2 pitching staffs in the Wisconsin-Illinois Pod. The Rafters have allowed just 29 runs all season long, but the Rivets are not far behind at 36. Rockford is also very close to the league-leading Rafters in ERA, as Rapids leads 2.95 to 3.45. The Rafters have struck out 107 batters in 79.1 innings, good for an average of 12 strikeouts per game.<\/p>\n

Coverage of tonight\u2019s game from Rivets Stadium begins at 5:50pm on AM 1320 WFHR.<\/p>\n
