Kalamazoo, Mich. - Nine hits and three errors by the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters helped the Green Bay Bullfrogs defeat the Rafters on Saturday night in Wisconsin Rapids by a score of 8-3.
Down 3-2, the Bullfrogs took the lead for good in the fifth inning. Green Bay scored four runs, three of which were unearned, to pull ahead 6-3. Brian Celsi (California) had an RBI double that scored Kyle Lewis (Sierra College) for the only earned run of the inning. Ivan Vieitez (Lenoir-Rhyne) also had a sacrifice fly in the frame that scored Ryan Howell (Chabot).
