The Bullfrogs and Loggers will play a two-game series with a game on both Wednesday and Thursday night in La Crosse.
The Bullfrogs closed out the first half of their season with a home-and-home doubleheader against the Wisconsin Woodchucks on Monday. Green Bay pounded out twenty-seven runs on thirty-five hits in those two games to win both contests and sweep the final day of the first half from the Woodchucks. Bullfrogs' field manager, Darrell "Skip" Handelsman, won his 600th career game in the night cap on Monday.
