Garrett Broussard got the scoring started for Wisconsin Rapids with an RBI double that tied the game up, 1-1.\u00a0 An Andrew Semo sacrifice fly and a passed ball brought home two more runs to give the Rafters a 3-1 lead.\u00a0 However, Fondy was not phased.\u00a0 Four Dock Spiders came home to score in the top of the third to give them a 5-3 lead.\u00a0 Nick Torres finished his night after pitching three innings while allowing five runs (two earned) on two hits, four walks, and one strikeout.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rafters added one more run in the bottom half of the third via a Jacob Igawa RBI sacrifice fly to make it a 5-4 game.\u00a0 Cody Urban threw one inning in the top of the fourth in which he gave up an Andrew Sojka solo homer to make a 6-4 Fondy lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Angel Medina entered the game in the top of the fifth and held the Dock Spiders scoreless.\u00a0 He repeated this in the top of the sixth to end his outing after two frames.\u00a0 An RBI single from Chris Conniff in the bottom of the sixth brought the Rats back within one, 6-5.\u00a0 After a scoreless frame from reliever Cael Chatham in the top of the seventh, the Rafters tied it up in the home half via an RBI single from Chris Conniff.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a 6-6 game heading into the top of the eighth, Chatham again held Fondy scoreless.\u00a0 Preston Howey entered the game for the Rafters in relief in the top of the ninth, as he retired the Dock Spiders 1-2-3 in order.\u00a0 However, the Rafters were also retired in order in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Howey went back out on the bump for the top of the 10th, as he again retired Fondy 1-2-3 in order, including striking out the final Dock Spider he faced.\u00a0 With Levi Jensen beginning the inning on second base for the Rats in the home half of the 10th, he immediately went to third on a wild pitch.\u00a0 Colin Tuft was retired for the first out, and then the Dock Spiders intentionally walked Jacob Igawa. With runners on the corners and one out, here came Andrew Semo.\u00a0 On a 1-0 fastball, Semo stung a line drive into left field that was caught for out number two.\u00a0 However, Jensen tagged from third and came home to score the game-winning run.\u00a0 Rafters won their 53rd game of the season, a new Northwoods League Single-Season record, by a score of 7-6.\u00a0 Preston Howey earned his fourth win of the season.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rafters (53-14) will again host the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (34-32) 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<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/i><\/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.
