Charlie McConnell led off with a single, and scored on a double by Dustin Woodcock to put the Rafters up 1-0.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJake Guenther joined in on the early offense for Rapids, tagging a ball over the right field wall for a solo homer to give the Rafters a 2-0 lead on Quinn Snarskis (2-1).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRapids busted the game open in the third, as Nick Anderson led off the inning with a solo home-run. Woodcock walked while Jacson McGowan and Christian Jones were hit by pitches to load the bases. Guenther dug in, and smacked a grand slam to right-center to put the Rafters on top 7-0 after three innings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe day continued for the offense in the fourth as Wyatt Mascarella was hit by a pitch. Woodcock laced an RBI single to left, pushing the Rafters lead to 8-0.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tStarter Sam Carver (2-3) cruised through the first four innings, not giving up a run on four hits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMcGowan wasted no time in the fifth, leading off the inning with a solo blast and giving the Rafters a 9-0 advantage on Kenosha.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt took until the bottom of the sixth for the Kingish to get on the board. After a Rafters error, Tim Millard went deep to left, hitting a home-run to make the game 9-2. Kenosha added a run in the eighth to pull within 9-3, and Rapids tagged an insurance run on in the top of the ninth to make it 10-3.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the bottom of the inning, Kenosha scored five runs to push the Rafters bullpen. Ben Troike led off with a single and Tyler Paulson hit a two-run homer off Carver. Austin Bodrato singled and Jesse Wilkening was hit by a pitch before Derek Bangert homered off Nick Avila to make the score 10-8. Layne Henderson entered the game for the Rafters, striking out the final two batters of the game for his ninth save in as many tries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCarver earns his second win on the season, tossing eight and a third innings. The lefty is tagged with three earned runs. He did not walk a batter.&nbsp;&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWisconsin Rapids and Kenosha have a first pitch of 7:05 p.m. with coverage of Monday&rsquo;s game starting at 6:50 p.m. on AM 1320 WFHR and WFHR.com, the Rafters Radio Network.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t###\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.
