FOND DU LAC, WI - The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders fell to the Green Bay Rockers, 7-3, at Capital Credit Union Park on Thursday night in Green Bay.
The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Rockers and saw them improve to 24-38 on the year, and 14-12 in the second half. The Dock Spiders fell to 33-29 on the year and 14-14 in the second half.
The Rockers struck first in the first inning off Dock Spiders starter Gabe Stotler (Shippensburg) with a two-run home run from Griffin Stevens (Tiffin). After the home run, Stotler would retire the next five batters to keep the game at 2-0.
