But on Friday night, they flipped the script with a 13-10 victory at Witter Field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The power surge that we saw Thursday against Madison reared its head again in this matchup, with WR launching three more home runs. Jack Mathey hit <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">both <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a three-run homer and a grand slam, and Aidan Teel hit one of his own, his first as a Rafter. Mathey, who now leads the Rafters with five homers, finished the day 4-4 with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">seven <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RBI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m having good at bats and making adjustments pitch-to-pitch,\u201d said Mathey after the game. \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to get as many runners on base and as many guys home, that&#8217;s the name of the game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe\u2019s a great stabilizer, we knew he could hit when he came here,\u201d said field manager Kirk Shrider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Up 12-3 through five innings, Wisconsin Rapids looked primed to finish out the ballgame with little trouble. Until the final innings, where Ethan Breslin allowed six runs to make the score 13-9 entering the ninth frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt just comes down to pitch-to-pitch\u2026 understanding that there&#8217;s a chance for a team to get back in it and go ahead and pound the zone,\u201d said Shrider. \u201cWe didn\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thankfully for the Rafters, Nick Perry entered and slammed the door in the ninth to secure the victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kenji Pallares got the start for Wisconsin Rapids and dazzled in four strong innings, allowing just two hits and one run. In his first appearance at Witter Field, Pallares provided much-needed stability from the jump. Rafter\u2019s starters have now gone 12 total innings and yielded just four runs in the three games of the second half.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the more interesting storylines entering the matchup was Rockers starter Landon Victorian, who just graduated from high school and was making his NWL debut. He was recruited to LSU as the top right-handed pitcher out of Louisiana and one of the best pitchers in the country. He struck out the first two Rafters\u2019 hitters he saw and finished with two scoreless innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The win moves the Rafters second-half record to 2-1 heading into their second game of the series against the Rockers.
