La Crosse Loggers News Release
La Crosse, Wisc. - The Loggers dominate the Bucks winning 14-1 in front of over 2500 fans at Copeland Park.
The Loggers started the game hot, as Adam Hayes (Texas Tech) opened the game pitching a 1-2-3 inning. The bats were blazing as well, scoring started with an opposite field home run from Joey Senstock (Nebraska) putting the Lumbermen up 2-0. The offensive output did not stop there, as several more hits including homeruns from Jose Lopez (Grand Canyon) and Mana Lau Kong (Hawaii) would net the Loggers 6 runs.
The Bucks would get on the board in the 2nd inning on a double steal, scoring their one and only run of the night. The Loggers would respond in the 3rd, walking left and right, putting up another 5 runs due in part to their patience at the plate.
The Loggers would pick up another run in the 6th on a Logan De Groot (Northwestern) sacrifice fly and 2 more in the 8th on a past ball and RBI groundout from Savion Flowers (Kansas).
It was smooth sailing for the pitching staff, as Hayes would finish the day throwing 5 innings, stirking out 7, and only allowing 1 run. Tommy Bridges (Northwestern) would gather 3 shutout innings in relief, striking out 3 himself. Beau Leisure (Iowa) would finish the game in the 9th with a shutout inning of his own, striking out the side.
Impressive performances included the pitching staff, as well as Mana Lau Kong who finished with 3 hits including his homerun in the 1st inning. Jose Lopez and Joey Senstock led the team in RBIs with 3 each.
The Loggers will rematch against the Bucks tomorrow evening, Fathers Day, for a 5:05 game at Copeland Park. Donovan Becerra (Texas Tech) is set to start for La Crosse as they look to repeat the spectacular outting of tonight.
