WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. – On a night where the theme was \u201cShare Your Superpower\u201d at Witter Field, a man that has been borderline superhuman all season long accomplished yet another towering feat. Brendan Bobo hit his 14th homer of 2022, a new Rafters single season franchise record, in the team\u2019s 11-6 over the Lakeshore Chinooks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After Rafters starter Cooper Robinson retired the Chinooks 1-2-3 in the top half of the first, the Rats bats awoke early.\u00a0 In the second at-bat of the game, Chase Call hit a two-run homer, his third of the season, to put the Rats up 2-0.\u00a0 However, the Chinooks answered back with a two-run homer of their own in the top of the second to tie it at 2-2.\u00a0 Another run added on an RBI groundout put the Chinooks up 3-2 heading into the bottom of the second.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rafters countered in the bottom of the second.\u00a0 Aidan Brewer continued his recent hot streak with an RBI single that tied up the game at 3-3.\u00a0 Three batters later, Chase Call launched his second two-run homer of the game, his fourth of the season, to put the Rafters up 5-3.\u00a0 Robinson held Lakeshore off the board in the top of the third.\u00a0 Robinson threw three innings while allowing three runs on three hits, three walks, and two strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew Semo hit his second double of the night in his Witter Field debut, which brought across Nate Nankil in the bottom of the third to give the Rafters a 6-3 lead.\u00a0 Malakai Vetock entered the game in the top of the fourth to pitch for Wisconsin Rapids.\u00a0 He gave up a leadoff homer to begin the fourth, as the score moved to 6-4.\u00a0 However, the Rafters added on three more in the bottom half of the inning.\u00a0 A pair of RBI doubles from Chase Call and Brendan Bobo, as well as an RBI single from Nate Nankil gave the Rafters a 9-4 lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vetock retired the Chinooks in order in the top of the fifth.\u00a0 The Rats bats were still done, as Aidan Brewer launched a solo homer in the home half of the inning, his third of the season, to give the Rats a commanding 10-4 lead.\u00a0 Vetock held Lakeshore scoreless in the top half of the sixth to end his night.\u00a0 He threw three innings while allowing one run on four hits, two walks, and four strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cody Urban began the top of the seventh on the mound for the Rafters, as he gave up a two-run homer to Matt DePrey which brought the Chinooks back within four, 10-6.\u00a0 However, Urban would keep the Chinooks off the board in the eighth to end his night.\u00a0 Urban threw two innings while allowing two runs on four hits, no walks, and no strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heading into the bottom of the eighth, Brendan Bobo was due up third.\u00a0 After two quick outs, Bobo stepped into the box to face Chinooks reliever Sinjon Bobolia.\u00a0 On a 2-1 fastball, Brendan Bobo used his Superman-like strength to send a baseball deep into the night sky for his 14th homer of the season, a new Wisconsin Rapids Rafters single-season record.\u00a0 On a night where heroes reigned supreme, Bobo rounded the bases with his hands held high above his head after the historic shot, as he put the Rafters ahead 11-6.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Preston Howey recorded the final three outs on the mound in the ninth.\u00a0 Malakai Vetock recorded his fifth victory of 2022, as his record is now 5-0.\u00a0 Call, Bobo, Nankil, Semo, and Brewer all had multi-hit nights tonight, as Call added five RBI to his standout performance as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rafters (45-12) will again play host to the Lakeshore Chinooks (28-28) tomorrow night at Witter Field at 6:35 pm.\u00a0 Catch all the action on the Northwoods League Baseball Network with Carter Gledhill or on 1320 AM\/97.5 FM WFHR with Brett Loftis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
