Following an hour and eleven-minute rain delay, the Rafters\u2019 bats came alive. Mike Rojas (Auburn) worked a bases-loaded walk and Jack-Thomas Wold (UNLV) cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The cranberry and gold poured it on in the sixth. Wisconsin Rapids scored seven time on six hits. Steven Rivas (Long Beach State) plated two with a double and later scored on a wild pitch. Mitch Mallek (St. Cloud State) earned an RBI with a base hit to right. Wold collected his second double and plated two more runs.<\/p>\n<p>In the top of the ninth, Kenosha set the tone with a leadoff home run to right center from Jack Yalowitz. The Kingfish loaded the bases multiple times and took the lead with a two-run double from Scott Dubrule. In the end, ten runs scored on six hits and one Rafter error. The ten-run ninth inning from Kenosha to come back and win is the largest such comeback in Northwoods League history.<\/p>\n<p>Connor Doyle (1-0, 0.00 ERA) gets the win for pitching a scoreless bottom of the ninth. Josh Aguilar (0-2, 6.48 ERA) suffered the loss. Josh Serio (0-2, 2.19 ERA) earned his fifth save.<\/p>\n<p>The Rafters will face the Kingfish tomorrow at Witter Field with a 4:05 pm first pitch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>###<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
