Ashwaubenon, Wis. - Green Bay's homestand continues Tuesday night, as they're set to host the Lakeshore Chinooks again at Capital Credit Union Park. First Pitch will be at 6:35 p.m.

On Monday night, the Rockers won the first game of a two-game set with the Chinooks 7-5. The game was back and forth, with both teams exchanging runs in the early innings. Headed into the bottom of the eighth, Green Bay trailed 5-4 until Carlos Hernandez (Anderson) launched a go-ahead three-run home run to right field, giving the Rockers a 7-5 lead.

In last night's contest, four players for the Rockers put together multi-hit games: Hernandez, Cooper Kelly (Kansas), Jojo Jackson (Georgia State), and Mateo Matthews (Wagner).

Earning the win for Green Bay was reliever Jacob Faulkner (Princeton). The right-hander continued his dominance on the hill, just allowing one hit across two innings of work.

Green Bay holds onto first place in the Great Lakes West division with a 13-8 overall record. They have a one-game lead over Wausau and Madison, who are both 12-9.
