Green Bay, Wis.- The Green Bay Bullfrogs were defeated by the Duluth Huskies 7-3 on Wednesday night at Joannes Stadium.

Ryan Tapani earned the win for the Huskies in six innings of work. He allowed two runs on six hits and two walks. He also struck out three batters.

Nathan Disch allowed three earned runs on five hits, walked three and struck out three as he picked up the loss for the Bullfrogs, who were sporting Green Bay Blue Ribbon jerseys for Turn Back the Clock Night.

Duluth stranded runners at the corners in the top of the first inning but plated three in the second. The Huskies began the inning with three consecutive singles, followed by an error and another single. TJ Martin and Danny Lee each had RBI singles, and Alex Greene hit a sacrifice fly to leftfield.

The Huskies extended their lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning with a sacrifice bunt by Greene to score Cal Stevenson.

Green Bay scored its first run of the game in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Paul Jacobson singled and advanced to second on a hit-by-pitch. Jacobson stole third and scored on a RBI groundout to second base for Connor Ross.

Duluth grabbed two more runs in the fifth, as four of the first five hitters in the inning recorded hits.

The Bullfrogs scored again in the bottom of the sixth with a pinch-hit RBI single for Desi Ammons, but the Huskies came right back with a run in the seventh.

Green Bay scored its final run of the game when Matthew De La Rosa tripled and scored on a wild pitch to cut the deficit to 7-3.

The Bullfrogs were able to get plenty of men on base, but runs were hard to come by. Eight Green Bay runners were stranded in scoring position during the game.

A trio of Bullfrogs made their debut during the game. Shortstop Mikey Duarte finished 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and was hit by a pitch. Jack Mahan came into the game in the middle of the top of the fifth and allowed a hit and no runs. First baseman Danny Rosenbaum finished 0-for-4 in his first game with the Bullfrogs.
