LA CROSSE, Wis. - After a back-and-forth contest, Matt Stinebiser (Duke) ripped an RBI single down the first base line in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the La Crosse Loggers a 8-7 victory over the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters on Thursday night at Copeland Park.
The Loggers (7-9) trailed 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning when Jacob Blas (Arizona) hit a two-run home run to left field to tie the game.
