Bryson Stott&rsquo;s three RBIs and a two-run home run from Ryan Stekl highlighted the offense for Wisconsin Rapids.<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">After lining out hard in his first at-bat, Stekl blasted a two-run home run to open the scoring in the third inning. The first home run of the year for Stekl plated Nick Owens and gave Wisconsin Rapids a 2-0 lead.<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">The visiting Dock Spiders got on the board in the sixth, when Thomas Luevano knocked in Luke Mangieri from second base to cut the Rapids lead to 2-1.<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">The Rafters added three more runs in the seventh to extend the lead to 5-1. Stott knocked in a run on a sacrifice hit with the bases loaded and another would cross on the same play following an error by the shortstop. Nick Anderson scored a run on a wild pitch and the Rafters brought nine to the plate in the frame, but stranded the bases loaded to end the threat.<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">Stott added two insurance runs in the eighth with a two-RBI single to score Owens and Charlie McConnell, both of whom singled in the inning. Aaron Herr entered to pitch the ninth and struck out the side to secure the 7-1 victory.<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">Carranza (2-0) earned the win and silenced the strong offense of the Dock Spiders, tossing six innings of one-run baseball and striking out nine. Dock Spider starting pitcher Connor Johnson (2-1) continued his ability to put down Rafter hitters in his third appearance against Wisconsin Rapids, with the Stekl home run the lone blemish on the evening.<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">\n\t<span><font color=\"#000000\">The teams will meet for a rematch tomorrow night in Fond du Lac, a 6:35 p.m. first pitch at Herr-Baker Field.
