Green Bay, Wis.- The Green Bay Bullfrogs look to get back on track tonight with a pair of games after last night's 10-9 walk-off loss to the Duluth Huskies.
The Bullfrogs jumped out to a 6-0 lead after three innings of play. Robb Paller connected on a run-scoring double in the first, followed by a two-RBI single by Ty Blankmeyer in the second. Ryan Donovan hit a three-run home run in the third to give Green Bay a six-run advantage.
Duluth cut the lead to one in the bottom of the fourth inning. Holden Cammack plated a run with a bases-loaded single. Danny Lee reached on a fielder's choice, which scored two runs after an error, followed by a two-RBI single by Alex Greene.
The Huskies grabbed the lead in the fifth with two unearned runs. Nick Valaika reached on an error to score Jean Figueroa and Justin Paulsen to give Duluth a 7-6 lead.
Danny Rosenbaum was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the sixth, but Cammack's second RBI single put the Huskies back in front.
After a sacrifice fly in the eighth for Rosenbaum to tie the game, Donovan gave the Bullfrogs a 9-8 lead with a run-scoring single.
Jeremy Graf walked Figueroa with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at nine, and a groundball hit to Donovan scored Elijah Dilday to give the Huskies the win.
The Bullfrogs will play two games tonight, finishing up the suspended game on May 29 against the St. Cloud Rox. The game will resume at 6:05 at Joe Faber Field with a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the 13th inning with Green Bay at bat.
A nine-inning game will be played 30 minutes following the conclusion of the opening contest. Sam Brunner will start for the Bullfrogs, and St. Cloud will begin with Domenick Carlini on the mound.
Brunner is making his sixth start and 12th appearance tonight. He has a 3-2 record with a 3.19 earned run average. Brunner threw six shutout innings with nine strikeouts and 96 pitches in relief against the Rox during the suspended game on May 29.
Carlini will be making his seventh start of the year. He comes into tonight's game with a 3-0 record and a 2.70 earned run average, and St. Cloud has not lost in any of his six starts. Carlini has yet to face the Bullfrogs this season.
Green Bay is in the midst of a seven-game road trip, and the Bullfrogs will return to Joannes Stadium on July 18 for a two-game series with the Kenosha Kingfish before the All-Star break.
