For just the 16<sup>th<\/sup> time in Northwoods League history, the Rafters have a double-digit win streak. It was a shutout performance by the Wisconsin Rapids bullpen on Sunday that helped seal the deal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe games scoring got underway early for Wisconsin Rapids as Dustin Woodcock drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first. The Mallards quickly took a 2-1 lead after the top of the fourth. The lead did not last long for the Mallards due to a Woodcock solo home-run in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game. Bryson Stott drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the fifth to make it 3-2.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Rafters offense broke out for four runs in the seventh inning, highlighted by a Nic Motley two-RBI double. Woodcock walked with the bases loaded to add another run, while Ryan Stekl bounced into a fielder&rsquo;s choice to give the Rafters a comfortable 7-2 advantage. Cameron Busby tossed three innings of scoreless relief, while Jack Eagan (3-0) earned the win.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWith a chance to win its sixth series in 2017, the Rafters send out right-hander Quinn DiPasquale (1-0) to start against the Mallards. DiPasquale owns a 1.75 ERA this year, starting in two games. In his most recent start against the Wisconsin Woodchucks, the righty dealt seven and two-thirds of one run baseball. His opposition today is Simon Rosenblum-Larson from Harvard. The right-hander has started two games, allowing one earned run combined, for an ERA of 0.71 on the season. On June 6<sup>th<\/sup>, the Madison, Wisconsin native tossed seven shutout innings against Kalamazoo, striking out seven and walking none.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe gates open at 6:05 pm for the 7:05 pm first pitch at Witter Field. Full coverage of the game starts at 6:50 pm on AM 1320 WFHR and WFHR.com, the Rafters Radio Network.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 3in\">\n\t&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ###\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<em>The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.&nbsp;<\/em><em>The 2<\/em><em>3<\/em><em>-year-old summer collegiate league is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 20 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind.
