After a 13-3 drubbing of the Wisconsin Woodchucks (1-2) last night, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (2-1) will look to extend their current two-game winning streak to three as they travel to Wausau.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn last night&rsquo;s game,<span style=\"color:#000000\"> <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/northwoods.bbstats.pointstreak.com\/player.html?playerid=932682&amp;seasonid=29992\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Jake Lumley<\/span><\/a><\/strong><span style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>(Canisius)<\/span>&nbsp;continued his hot hitting by going 4 for 5 with 2 RBIs.
