WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. – After a 15-1 rout of the Lakeshore Chinooks last night, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters dropped a close one tonight at home to the Chinooks 7-5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rafters starter, Michael Lindsey, struck out the first two Chinooks he faced in the top of the first and then danger struck.\u00a0 After a one out walk, Caleb Bartolero put a double into the right center field gap which put runners on second and third.\u00a0 Left fielder Mathias Haas put Lakeshore ahead with a two-run double 2-0.\u00a0 The very next batter, Aidan Longwell, hit an RBI triple that put the Chinooks up 3-0.\u00a0 However, the Rats bats came alive in the bottom half bringing home two runs via an RBI double from Chase Call and an RBI single from Brendan Bobo to make it a 3-2 game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chinooks left fielder, Jack Firestone, hit a solo homer in the top of the second to put Lakeshore back up by two, 4-2.\u00a0 The Rafters were held scoreless in the bottom halves second and third, while Lindsey held the Chinooks scoreless in the top halves of the third and fourth.\u00a0 However, in the home half of the fourth, Harry Owen struck gold with a solo homer, his third of the season, to bring the Rafters back within one, 4-3.\u00a0 Lindsey\u2019s night was done after four innings of giving up four runs on seven hits, one walk, and six strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jacob James entered the game for the Rafters in the fifth and threw a 1-2-3 inning.\u00a0 A two-run two-out double from Garrett Broussard gave the Rafters their first lead of the night in the home half, 5-4.\u00a0 James threw another 1-2-3 sixth, as well as throwing a scoreless top half of the seventh.\u00a0 He finished his night after three innings while giving up no runs, no hits, one walk, and struck out four.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rafters brought in Connor Kurki to throw the eighth inning, and he retired the Chinooks in order 1-2-3.\u00a0 However, the Rats bats were held scoreless in the eighth for the third straight inning.\u00a0 Preston Howey entered the game with a save opportunity in the ninth.\u00a0 However, the Chinooks were not ready to go down without a fight and they instead took the lead.\u00a0 After the first five batters reached in the inning and three runs came across to make a 7-5 Lakeshore lead, Howey stranded two runners in scoring position as he got back-to-back strikeouts and a flyout to end the inning.\u00a0 The Rafters would be retired in order in the bottom of the ninth.\u00a0 Preston Howey received the loss and blew his first save opportunity of 2022, and Calvin Bickerstaff picked up the win for Lakeshore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rafters (27-6) will play host to the Green Bay Rockers (10-24) tomorrow night at 6:35 pm at Witter Field.\u00a0 Catch all the action on the Northwoods League Baseball Network with Carter Gledhill or listen on WFHR 1320 AM\/97.5 FM with Brett Loftis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
