\n\tWisconsin Rapids fell a game behind La Crosse in their season series with a 6-3 loss last night at Witter Field<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWisconsin Rapids, Wis.<\/strong> – After a 6-3 loss on Tuesday night, the Rafters now trail the Loggers 2-1 in the two teams’ 2015 season series. Wisconsin Rapids has a chance to knot the series at 2-2 tonight as the Rafters host the Loggers at Witter Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Tuesday night, the game started with the Rafters matching the Loggers run-for-run early, but La Crosse took the lead in the fifth and never looked back, picking up their sixth straight win early in the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tChris Falwell (Cisco College), who was drafted in the 29th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier today, will be on the mound for the Rafters. The lanky lefty earned a no-decision in his first start, throwing five innings of one-run ball against Lakeshore. The Round Rock, Texas native held the Chinooks to just two hits while striking out seven.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the game, fans in attendance will be entertained by Dan “The Bullet” Smith as he launches himself out of a cannon as The Human Cannonball, presented by Heartland Farms. Smith will be shot from center field and land in a net over home plate.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSmith has performed more than 5,000 times all around the world and was featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent<\/em>. His father David “Cannonball” Smith Sr. held the Guinness world record for the farthest-flying human cannonball until The Bullet flew 193 feet, 8.8 inches in 2011. Gates open for tonight’s game at 6:05 p.m.\n<\/p>\n
