Green Bay, Wis. - Following four straight games on the road, the Green Bay Bullfrogs toughest stretch of road games will continue on Wednesday with a home-and-home double header against the Wisconsin Woodchucks. After two games on Wednesday, the Bullfrogs will head back out to Michigan for a two-game series with the Kalamazoo Growlers.

Last time out, the Bullfrogs came out on the losing end of a back-and-forth game with the Battle Creek Bombers. After the Bullfrogs took a 2-1 lead, Battle Creek stormed back to score three runs in the eighth inning and grab the 4-2 lead. Despite a strong comeback by the Bullfrogs in the ninth inning, Battle Creek held on to win 4-3 on Tuesday. Dean Long (Emporia State) and Ivan Vieitez (Lenoir-Rhyne) led Green Bay offensively, as they each recorded two hits and an RBI.

In Game One of the double header on Wednesday, Luke Watson (UW-Stevens Point) will take the mound looking to get the Bullfrogs back on the winning track.

In Game Two, another Appleton, Wisconsin native, Nathan Disch (Jacksonville) will start at pitcher for the Bullfrogs.
