Wisconsin Rapids pitchers lead the way with 12 strikeouts<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. \u2013 The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (9-3) continue to stay hot. Fresh off a road trip to Rockford, the Rafters shut out the Green Bay Booyah (5-7), 3-0, to end the second week.<\/p>\n

The Rafters took control of the game in the first two innings, with Richie Schiekofer as the catalyst of the offense. In the first, Schiekofer led off the game with a single. While on first, Green Bay starter Jack Mahoney uncorked a wild pickoff throw that Schiekofer capitalized on by stealing two. Booyah first baseman Nick Kreutzer then overthrew third allowing Schiekofer to come around and score on the pair of errors.<\/p>\n

In the second, Schiekofer came into the batter\u2019s box with two runners on and launched a liner to left center, driving in Parker Nolan and Austin Kryszczuk to put the Rafters up 3-0. The Rafters pitching staff would take it from there.<\/p>\n

Starter Glenn Albanese threw five innings, allowing no runs and striking out seven. Albanese\u2019s 24 strikeouts of the season are second-best in the league. Ryan Mitschele took over in the sixth, closing out the game with four scoreless innings, allowing just two baserunners.<\/p>\n

The Rafters moved to 9-3 with the win, at the top of the WI-IL Pod. The Booyah fell to 5-7 and are still in a tie for fourth in the Pod.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, the Rafters welcome in the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders for the first game of a home-and-away series. Coverage from Witter Field starts at 6:20pm on AM 1320 WFHR, and 6:30pm on Northwoods League Baseball Network (TV).<\/p>\n
