FOND DU LAC, WI - The Dock Spiders even the season series against the Rockers in the final regular season meeting between the two teams after an eight strikeout performance fueled a 5-3 win over Green Bay.

After two scoreless innings and a brief rain delay the Dock Spiders struck first with three runs. In the top of the third the Dock Spiders first found the scoring column off of a Tommy Googins two-run homer for the Princeton product's first home run of the season and then the Dock Spiders tacked on another run off of a TP Wentworth RBI single. The Dock Spiders would then leap to a 5-0 lead from a Jalen Gellings RBI single in the fourth inning and a Quinn Schambow RBI single in the fifth inning for his first hit as a Dock Spider. The Rockers offense was held scoreless through the first seven innings thanks to a stellar start from Garrett Workman who went five innings with seven strikeouts. The Rockers gave the Dock Spiders a scare in the bottom of the eighth inning, launching a home run and recording three runs to make it a two run game. However, Stormy Rhodes and the Dock Spiders defense collected themselves and closed out a 5-3 road win.

Player of the game for the Dock Spiders was left-handed pitcher Garrett Workman who in his third start went five innings allowing no runs and only walking one batter compared to his seven strikeouts. On the mound the Dock Spiders used two arms as Garrett Workman and Stormy Rhodes combined for eight strikeouts while hanging eight scoreless innings on the Rockers.
