Green Bay, WI - Right-handed pitcher Amar Tsengeg (Northwestern) shined in his first outing for the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders in 2024. The Dock Spiders exploded for 15 hits in a decisive 12-3 victory over the Green Bay Rockers on Thursday at Capital Credit Union Park in Green Bay. With the win, the Dock Spiders improved their record to 6-11.

Green Bay struck first in the third inning when Lukas Torres (Wagner) hit a two-run home run to right field, putting the Rockers up 2-0.

In the fourth inning, the Dock Spiders took control. After the first two batters reached base, Parker Knoll (Lawrence) tied the game at 2-2 with a hard single off the right-field wall. Two batters later, Quinten Perilli (Elizabethtown) singled, giving the Dock Spiders a 3-2 lead. Aiden Jolley (Georgia Tech) then drew a walk, setting the stage for Drew Barragan (Embry Riddle) to hit a three-run home run to right field, his second of the season, extending the lead to 6-2.

The Dock Spiders added another run in the fifth inning with a double down the left-field line by Quinten Perilli, which scored Tyler Neises (Georgia Tech) and made the score 7-2.

RHP Amar Tsengeg returned to the mound for the sixth inning but allowed a leadoff home run to Lane Allen (Blinn CC), reducing the Dock Spiders' lead to 7-3 and ending Tsengeg's outing. Tsengeg finished with 5.0 innings pitched, allowing 4 hits, 3 earned runs, and striking out five batters.

In the seventh inning, the Dock Spiders scored three more runs.

In the bottom of the inning, RHP Zach Silfies (Elizabethtown) struck out the side after allowing a leadoff walk. The Dock Spiders' bullpen, featuring Silfies, Townsend Stevenson (Washington University in St. Louis), and Xerian Ximmies (Florida A&M), combined for 4.0 innings of scoreless relief, allowing just three hits and striking out 12 batters.
