\n\t\"18775001644_eca089eff3_z\"<\/a>Wisconsin Rapids finishes the season 33-35<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWisconsin Rapids, Wis. – A five-run rally in the eighth inning propelled the Rafters to an 8-7 win Sunday in the final game of the 2015 season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe game shifted on a strange play at Witter Field, when Brock Carpenter (Seattle) hit a hard hit ball to third, which resulted in Zack Domingues (Long Beach State) getting caught in a pickle between third and home. A savvy play by Domingues worked his way back to third and everyone was safe. Wisconsin Rapids went on to score five runs and take the lead, 8-7. Austin Paisar (Sacramento City) earned the win by pitching a scoreless eighth inning, Chad Dullnig (Ranger) took the loss and Justin Kelly (UC Santa Barbara) earned his second save in the last two days.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWisconsin Rapids took the lead early in Sunday’s game, scoring a pair in the bottom of the first. The Bullfrogs responded with four runs in the top of the third, taking a 5-2 lead. Green Bay looked in control through the top of the eighth inning as they held a 7-3 lead. But the Rafters brought 10 men to the plate and scored five runs on six hits to take the 8-7 lead.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tErnie Clement (Virginia) led the way for the Rafters, going 4-for-4 on the day, scoring three runs. Carpenter was 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, while  Domingues was 2-for-3 and scored a pair of runs. Mitchell McGeein (Eastern Michigan) had a pair of sacrifice flies for two RBI.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the win, the Rafters ended the year with a team record for wins in a season with 33, surpassing the 2013 team who won 31 games, despite losing out on four games to rain outs.\n<\/p>\n
