Green Bay Rockers News Release


Ashwaubenon, Wis. - After a dramatic come from behind victory Monday night, the Green Bay Rockers look to get their first season series sweep, hosting the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters for the Green Bay home opener Tuesday night at Capital Credit Union Park.

First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. with the pregame concert performed by the Cougars and gates set to open at 5:35. The first 1,000 fans will receive an Opening Day Commemorative Vinyl Rockers Record with one lucky fan receiving the gold record to be Rockstar for a Year.

In Monday opening night's victory, the Rockers tallied six runs on 14 hits and despite making four errors in the field, they found themselves in the lead after the top half of the ninth courtesy of a game-winning RBI single from Griffin Selby.

Chase Hudson led the way offensively for Green Bay, going 4-4 with three singles, one double, and two RBIs. Tristin Garcia also pushed the pace for the Rockers going 2-5 himself with two doubles and an RBI.

Chase Pelter earned the win for the Rockers on the mound, pitching the last 1.2 innings of the game, and striking out two, retiring the Rafters lineup 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth.

Carter pitched his first two seasons of college baseball at Crowder College, and most recently pitched in 14 games while making 13 starts in 2021, posting an 8-1 record and a 5.84 ERA.

The Rafters will start Xavier Rivas from the University of Indianapolis after pitching 80.1 innings this past spring. He was most recently named the 2022 D2CCA Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year.
