\n\tWisconsin Rapids moves to 5-1 against their rivals from the east<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin<\/strong> – The Rafters made history for the second time in three days when they defeated the Green Bay Bullfrogs 6-4 on Saturday evening. The win gave Wisconsin Rapids its 32nd victory of the season, surpassing the 2013 team that previously held the franchise-record for wins in a season with 31. The Rafters had to withstand a three-run ninth inning from the Bullfrogs, but held on to win thanks to a six unanswered Rafters runs from the third through seventh innings. Dmitry Shtykher (Russia) earned the win for Wisconsin Rapids, while Clayton Uselman (Madison College) took the loss for Green Bay. Justin Kelly (UC Santa Barbara) earned the one-out save for the Rafters.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Bullfrogs got on the board first with a solo home run from Ray Greco (UW-Stevens Point) in the top of the third. In the bottom half of the inning, a pair of Green Bay errors aided the Rafters in scoring three runs, giving Wisconsin Rapids the lead, 3-1. The Rafters added two more runs in the fifth inning to take a 5-1 lead, as Sam Tolleson (Central Florida) picked up his second RBI of the game, followed by a Mitch McGeein (Eastern Michigan) RBI groundout.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGreen Bay brought the game-tying run to the plate in the sixth inning as the Bullfrogs loaded the bases with just one out. Wisconsin Rapids pitcher Ethan Evanko (Grand Canyon), however, was able to work out of the jam by inducing a 6-4-3 double play, ending the Bullfrog threat. Again in the eighth the Green Bay loaded the bases, but Evanko was once again able to escape without any damage.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the ninth, the Bullfrogs rallied for three runs, all unearned, as a Rafter error with two outs kept the inning alive for Green Bay. The Bullfrogs had the game-tying run on base, but Kelly shut the door for his second save of the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rafters will finish the season tomorrow with one final meeting with the Bullfrogs at Witter. First pitch will be at 5:05 p.m. with gates opening at 4:05 p.m. It’ll be Founding Partners Fan Appreciation Day at the ballpark with great giveaways all night long.\n<\/p>\n
