\n\tRighty Dominant In First Start Of The Season<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBox Score<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWisconsin Rapids, Wis.- In a well- pitched game that lasted only two hours and 25 minutes, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (16-27, 4-4) took down the Madison Mallards (24-19, 6-4) by a score of 3-1. Wisconsin Rapids  got a great starting effort from Jake Cage (Azusa Pacific) who was making his first start of the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was a great pitcher’s duel between Cage and his Madison counterpart Rob McDonnell (Illinois). Both pitchers lasted 6 innings but McDonnell threw just one bad pitch. On a 1-0 count McDonnell left a fastball up to the red hot Keelin Rasch (Louiisana Monroe) who lined his fourth home run of the season to right center field to drive in the only 3 runs that would be needed by the Rafters. It was Rasch’s third home run in as many nights as he extended his hit streak to seven games.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCage ran into a couple jams in his six- inning outing, but his ability to change speeds kept the Mallards off balance all night and helped him escape with no damage done. As the game got late, Wisconsin Rapids turned to their new weapon in the bullpen, Jason Freeman (Texas A&M). Freeman was brought in for his second relief outing of the season. He entered in the top of the 8th<\/sup> to record the five out save and shut down the door on the Mallards.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the win, the Rafters finished their eight game home stand with a winning record and now lead the season series versus the Mallards with the scene shifting to Madison for the final three games of the year between the two teams. First pitch is at 7:05 pm.\n<\/p>\n
