FOND DU LAC, WI - The Dock Spiders scored seven runs combined in the final two innings but were unable to complete the come-from-behind win as the Woodchucks held firm to close out a 13-8 victory after totaling 15 hits.

In the Monday night matchup, the Dock Spiders found the scoring column first as Jonathan Fitz brought home Quinn Schambow off an RBI base hit in the bottom of the second inning. From here the Woodchucks offense surged as Wausau scored 12 straight runs before the Dock Spiders were able to respond. In an 11-run deficit, the Dock Spiders did not bow out as Fond du Lac put up six runs in the bottom of the eighth spearheaded by a bases-clearing double from Jaron Cotton. Wausau tagged a run in response in the top of the ninth as in the bottom of the inning Jalen Gellings scored off a sacrifice-fly but the Dock Spiders offense was not able to break through as the Woodchucks closed out a five run road win.

Offensively the Dock Spiders had a big night at the plate as Fond du Lac totaled 15 hits with three doubles. Quinn Schambow led the Dock Spiders in the hits category- going 3-for-4 with two runs and a walk. Schambow along with James Hankerson Jr. Jalen Gellings, Jonathan Fitz and Camden Kuhnke were a part of the five Dock Spiders to have multiple hits on the night.
