Wausau Woodchucks News Release
Wausau, Wis. - The Wausau Woodchucks (28-27) fell to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (44-12) in game two of the double header at Athletic Park this evening with a final score of 12-6. The game was kept close due to the Chucks capitalizing on the many walks thrown by the Rats pitching staff.
The Woodchucks got off to a hot start, taking a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning. Tyler Cox (Eckerd) singled to give the Chucks their first base runner, and was later driven in after a barrage of wild pitches by teammate Garret Hill (North Dakota State). Hill was then driven in by Aidan Corn (Pasco-Hernando), putting the Chucks on top for the first time today.
The Rafters put themselves out in front, but the Woodchucks wouldn't be silenced. The next three runs would come in the bottom of the 4th, after a single by Dwight Allen (Georgia) allowed both Hagen Escoto (Lamar) and Corn to score. Camden Janik (Illinois) came in to score after a RBI single by Hill. The next inning, Janik would show off his defensive prowess by catching a runner unsuccessfully attempting to steal.
The Chucks started to chisel at the lead again by scoring Zach Kluvers (North Dakota State) on an RBI single by Corn. That would be the final run of the game as the Rafters took the double header with a final score for the second game of the doubleheader of 12-6.
