Green Bay Rockers News Release
Ashwaubenon, Wis. - The Rockers offense came out hot in the early innings against the Rafters. They scored three in the first, two in the second and two in the third en route to their 11-4 victory on Saturday night.
Payton Fort started the scoring with a three-run homer off of Tristan Crusenberry. The Rockers had been desperate for production with two outs and runners in scoring position and Fort provided. Green Bay's scoring didn't stop there.
Max Humphrey scored Parker Martin with an RBI single in the second inning and David Ballenilla tacked on another with a sacrifice fly. In the third inning, Dom Bello came through with a two-run single into left center field to make the score 7-0 early. The Rocker catcher is batting .364 in his last 10 games.
JT Guerrero was fantastic on the mound. He went 6.1 innings pitched and only had one earned run. The Rafters plated seven during Guerrero's time on the bump, but that was due to the five errors made by the Rockers infield. Ballenilla had two, Mike Dee also had a pair and Parker Martin made one. Guerrero still maintained the lead and got through his outing efficiently.
Fort launched his second long ball of the evening off of Garrett McGuigan in the seventh inning. The Rockers scored three more on a pair of wild pitches and another Ballenilla sacrifice fly off of Erick Soto, a position player for the Rafters.
Holden Harris was first out of the pen for Green Bay. The righty looked great yet again, extending his scoreless streak to 14 innings. KJ Ward had the ninth inning where he touched triple digits. He hit 99 several times and got all the way up to 100. The Rockers sealed the 11-4 victory, snapping their five-game losing skid.
