The Green Bay Bullfrogs (11-16) won last night&rsquo;s contest 9-0 and did most of their damage in the later innings of the game. The win snapped the Bullfrogs five game losing streak and the Rafters plan to start a new losing streak for the Bullfrogs tonight at Witter Field.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn the hill for the Rafters tonight will be right handed pitcher Jason Freeman (Texas A&amp;M, 0-1). Freeman is going to be making his third start of the season and his fourth appearance overall for the Rafters, as his last time out he worked a scoreless inning in relief and struck out two of the three batters he faced. The Rafters will be looking for Freeman to go deep into tonight&rsquo;s ballgame last night they were forced to use four relievers in the loss.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Rafters offense will be looking to atone for last night&rsquo;s three hit performance and attempt to get to this Bullfrog pitching staff early and often. One of those three hits was a single by Woody Woodward (UC Santa Barbara) that extended his hitting streak to nine games, which is also the number of games that he has played with the Rafters. Zack Domingues (Long Beach State) continues to show patience at the plate as well, as in his last two games against the Bullfrogs Domingues has been able to draw four walks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe gates open at 6:05pm tonight here at Witter Field and the game will start at 7:05pm. Tonight is also Advanced Disposal Cranberry Appreciation Night, which means the Rafters players and coaches will be wearing cranberry themed jerseys for the game. A silent auction for the jerseys has already begun on raftersbaseball.com, and will continue through the end of the 7th inning of tonight&rsquo;s ballgame.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t###\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League. Playing its 21st season of summer collegiate baseball, the Northwoods League is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 18 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind.
