The led did not last long for the Woodchucks as Ryan Stekl drove a two-run single in the third inning to put the Rafters on the board with a lead for the first time in the game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter the two runs for the Rafters, Woodchucks starter Korey Rasure (1-1) settled in, tossing six innings of two-run baseball, not giving up a run after the third.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe lead changed hands again in the sixth inning as the Woodchucks chases DiPasquale. Tristian Clarke led off with a double and scored on a Stevie Mangrum single to tie the game 2-2. With the bases loaded, Ivan Nunez was hit by a pitch, giving the Woodchucks the lead back. Andrew Smith bounced into a fielder&rsquo;s choice off Rafters reliever Trey Schramm, while Jordan Santos brought in Dalton Reed on an RBI single. The Woodchucks led 5-2 after six.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the next frame, Nick Owens led off with a walk for the Rafters. Wyatt Mascarella singled to put runners at first and second for Charlie McConnell. The lefty drove a ball to deep right-center, scoring one to pull the Rafters within 5-3. But the Wisconsin continued the late-inning bats in the bottom half of the inning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMilton Rivera led off with a single with Clarke drew a walk. Mangrum drove a single to left, scoring Rivera and extending the Woodchucks lead. Reed doubled to left to score two runs, and Ryan singled to right to bring in Reed to give the Woodchucks a 9-3 lead. The bullpen shut the door, not giving up a run in the final two innings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRasure earns the win for the first time this year, while DiPasquale is tagged with his first loss of the summer. Bryson Stott finished with a 2-4 day for the Rafters with two singles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCoverage of the second game of the double-header can be found on WFHR 1320 AM or WFHR.com, the Rafters Radio Network.
