FOND DU LAC, WI - The Dock Spiders' comeback attempt fell short Sunday afternoon as they dropped an 8-6 decision to the Green Bay Rockers in their final home game of the first half.
Green Bay scored the first seven runs of the game before Fond du Lac got on the board in the sixth inning. Vincent Venverloh delivered a two-run single to cut the deficit to 7-2, but the Rockers answered with a run in the seventh to regain a six-run advantage.
The Dock Spiders continued to chip away, scoring twice in the bottom of the seventh on a two-run single by Reed Strohmeyer. Trailing by four entering the ninth, Fond du Lac added two more runs on a two-run single from Tyler Neises, but the rally ended with the tying run left on base as Green Bay held on for the 8-6 victory.
