ASHWAUBENON, Wis. - The Rockers fell to the Leprechauns in the second game of the series 8-5. Green Bay rallied in the closing stages but could not get enough to finish the job.
Royal Oak struck first in the third inning with a pair of Parker Picot (Alabama) and Collin Overholt (Ashland) singles to drive in four runs. They continued their momentum into the following innings, getting one more in the fourth and two in the fifth to get ahead 7-0 through the first half of play.
The Rockers first managed to score in the bottom of the fifth. Payton Mansfield (Jacksonville State) drilled a single into center field to drive in two runs. Green Bay grabbed another pair of scores with a Jake Bold (Princeton) sacrifice fly, and an error from Leprechaun shortstop JR Bedford (Fresno State). Seth Farni (Ole Miss) continued the hot streak in the eighth with a leadoff triple which he would score on later in the inning. Despite the 5-0 unanswered streak, Royal Oak would add an insurance run in the ninth, and Green Bay could not complete the comeback, with the game ending 8-5 in favor of the visitors.
After an off day tomorrow, the Rockers will play in the I-41 showdown at Neuroscience Field in Appleton on Tuesday against the Fond Du Lac. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 pm. Mikel Howell will start for Green Bay against the Dock Spiders. He's thrown 15.1 innings so far in three starts for the team.
