Green Bay, Wis. - It's opening week in Wisconsin in the Northwoods League presented by Edvest, and the Bullfrogs defeated Wisconsin Rapids 3-2 behind a clutch single by Hunter Owen in the bottom of the eighth.

With runs in the first, sixth, and eighth innings, it was timely hitting from the top of the order that led Green Bay to victory. Owens drove in two of the runs, while shortstop Randell Kanemaru drove in one. Chris Botsoe and Marcus Shoemaker would each get one hit and score a run in the victory.

Mike Ellenbest turned in a quality start, giving up two runs in six innings of work while striking out seven. Logan Elliot worked two innings to pick up the victory in relief and Harrisen Egly struck out the final two batters to pick up the save.

The Rafters were led by Logan Mattix who had two hits out of his leadoff spot. Starting pitcher Jay Peters matched Ellenbest pitch for pitch, giving up two runs in his six innings of work.
