Mequon, Wis. - After dropping a one-run game Friday night, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (4-7) look to rebound Saturday in the series finale against the Lakeshore Chinooks (3-8).
The Rafters led early against the Chinooks last night, but could not survive a late surge and fell 3-2 in game three of a four-game series. Tonight, Wisconsin Rapids looks to split the series in the finale.
Josh Nicoloff and Rich Ciufo both went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the loss. Gareth Stroh gave up just one hit through four innings as the starting pitcher.
