WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI- The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (5-3) came in and bullied the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (5-3). It was an offensive outburst for 18 runs by the Dock Spiders.

Jon Young (Indiana Wesleyan) got the start and he got a lot of run support, but really he only needed one run. He would go five and two-thirds of shutout baseball.

After a scoreless first inning, the Dock Spiders erupted for seven runs in the second. Duncan Hunter (Jacksonville) got it going with an RBI single.

The Rafters would walk in a run and Tate Kolwyck (Vanderbilt) would drive in a run. Tim Elko (Mississippi) would send one deep for a grand slam to cap off a seven run inning.

The offense wasn't done there, they would score three runs in third, which was capped off by a Zeb Adreon (Iowa) two-run home run.

The Dock Spiders 10 run lead wasn't enough as they would throw four more runs on the board in the fifth. A solo shot by Kolwyck would get the offense going.

Kellen Sarver (Illinois) and Hunter would drive in runs themselves. The Rafters would walk in the 14th run of the night.

Another home run by Elko would make it 15-0 in the seventh. The Rafters would score four runs.

The Dock Spiders bats were still hot in the ninth after another three runs came across. Otto Grimm (Minnesota) drove in a run. Charlie Maxwell (Northwestern) drove two home on a double. And the final score was 18-4.

All nine batters recorded a hit. Eight of the nine recorded two or more hits. Grimm reached base every time he was at the plate.

Elko's grand slam was the second for the Dock Spiders of the year. The Dock Spiders hit the road tomorrow night at Madison.

The first pitch will be 6:35 PM CST.
