Brendan Bobo hit his Northwoods League-leading sixth homer, as it was a three-run bomb to put the Rafters up 6-0.\u00a0 Jacob Igawa went back-to-back with a solo shot to give the Rats a 7-0 lead.\u00a0 The Dock Spiders put up their lone two runs of the night in the bottom of the second via Cole Messina&#8217;s solo homer and an RBI groundout to make it 7-2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rafters were held scoreless in the third and fourth innings.\u00a0 However, they took a 9-2 in the top of the first via a Stone Miyao sacrifice fly and a Joe Osborn RBI single.\u00a0 Colin Tuft had an RBI single in the top of the sixth to give the Rafters a 10-2 lead. Dalton Renne finished his debut as a Rafter at the end of the sixth.\u00a0 He threw 5.1 innings, gave up two hits, two runs, one walk, struck out six, and received the win.\u00a0 The Rafters scored three more in the seventh, as Brendan Bobo had a two-run single, and Garrett Broussard hit an RBI single to put the Rats up 13-2.\u00a0 Harry Owen left the yard for his first homer in the Wisconsin Rapids uniform in the eighth to give the Rafters a 14-2 lead.\u00a0 Malakai Vetock threw two scoreless innings in the seventh and eighth for the Rats, only giving up one hit and striking out two Dock Spiders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colin Tuft, Harry Owen, and Stone Miyao all had RBI hits in the top of the ninth to put up a Rafters three spot, to give Wisconsin Rapids a 17-2 lead.\u00a0 Connor Kurki made his Rafters debut in the bottom of the ninth, retiring the side in order.\u00a0 The Rafters had 23 hits tonight, including 10 extra-base knocks. Brady Jurgella, Brendan Bobo, Colin Tuft, Harry Owen, and Jacob Igawa all had multi-hit nights.\u00a0 However, maybe none shined brighter than Rafters third baseman Garrett Broussard, who went 5-for-6 with three doubles, two runs scored, and two RBI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rafters look to win their franchise-record 15th straight game in a row tomorrow at Fond Du Lac against the Dock Spiders at 6:35 pm.\u00a0 Catch all the action with Brett Loftis on WFHR 1320 AM\/97.5 FM, with the broadcast beginning at 6:20 pm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
