Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. - The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters are on a roll entering Monday night's game with the La Crosse Loggers. Sunday was another show of the Rafters' pod-best pitching staff, allowing just four hits to the Loggers in a 7-1 win.

The Rafters are 6-1 on the year against the Loggers and have taken a commanding lead in the Wisconsin-Illinois Pod. The Rafters lead by five games in the pod, seven in the division, with an 18-7 record. Wisconsin Rapids has the most home runs and pitcher strikeouts, as well as the lowest ERA in the league.
