\n\tFive straight wins and eight of nine overall lead Rafters into Sunday matchup<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMequon, Wis. – The first-place Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (16-8) return to action Sunday evening against the Lakeshore Chinooks (10-17) at Kapco Park, seeking a two-game series sweep. Including Saturday’s 3-2 victory over the Chinooks, the Rafters have won eight out of their last nine contests, including five in a row.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tToeing the rubber for Wisconsin Rapids will be left-hander Jake Repavich<\/strong> (Grand Canyon), who is in line for his second start and third overall appearance of the summer. Entering Sunday, Repavich has yet to record a decision and owns a 3.37 ERA in 8.0 innings on the bump. In his first start of the season, the Arizona native pitched five full innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks, recording one strikeout. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Chinooks, 7 1\/2 games behind the Rafters, will counter with an Arizona product of their own, sending right-hander Keenan Bartlett to the mound. Bartlett is slated to start for the fourth time and pitch in his fifth game overall. A member of the University of Richmond baseball program, Bartlett enters play with a winless 0-1 record and a 2.07 ERA in 21.2 innings of work. Most recently, Bartlett recorded a no-decision in a six inning outing against the Wisconsin Woodchucks in which he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out a season-high seven batters. Like last night’s starter Alex Rogers, Bartlett has received minimal run support from the anemic Chinook lineup in his first four outings, averaging to just two runs of backing per start.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rafters take the field Sunday as one of the hottest teams in the Northwoods League, having won all five games since their off day on Monday. Additionally, the Rafters have won eight of their last nine games overall, including three straight against the Chinooks. The Rafter lineup will look to find more success in manufacturing runs after plating just three runs on 13 hits in Saturday’s pitcher’s duel.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst pitch at Kapco Park is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. with coverage commencing on WFHR 1320 AM at 4:50 p.m.\n<\/p>\n
