Wausau, WIS - The Wisconsin Woodchucks (8-7) scored six runs in the first four innings and beat the Kenosha Kingfish (6-11), 11-8, at Athletic Park in Wausau.
Mac Caples (Virginia Tech) continued his hot homestand with a solo homer, a double and four runs scored.
The 'Chucks hit three home runs for the game. Austin Blakeley (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi) and Ruben Cardenas (Cal State-Fullerton) both hit their second homers - Cardenas' was his second in two games as a Woodchuck.
Robert Zeigler (Kent State) threw five shutout innings in his third start and struck out nine to get the win.
