Mequon, WI - The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (26-29) dominated the Lakeshore Chinooks (24-30) in a 8-0 victory. The Rafters plated eight runs on 12 hits on Monday evening in Mequon.

The Rafters batted all nine in the lineup scoring five runs on five hits in the third inning. McKinley Erves (LaGrange) scored two on a single to left-center, Kyle Teel (Virginia) brought home two on a triple, and Marco Castillo (Claremont McKenna) scored Teel on an infield single.

Teel delivered the third triple for the Rafters this season and has three RBIs in his first three games.
