Rockers Triumph on the Road against Chinooks
June 9, 2024 - Northwoods League (Northwoods)
Green Bay Rockers News Release
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. - The Rockers defeated the Chinooks 12-7 in their first matchup of the season.
Green Bay's offense was on display from the first pitch. Lead off batter Lukas Torres (Wagner) started the game with a solo home run. Lakeshore managed to tie the game and take the lead in the third 2-1 and extended it to five in the bottom of the fourth.
The Rockers held steady and answered back with a three-run inning of their own in the top of the fifth, thanks to a pair of RBI singles from Luke Moeller (Yavapai CC) and Payton Mansfield (Jacksonville St.), and a Carson Hansen (UW-Milwaukee) sacrifice fly, bringing the score to 5-4.
The hot bats did not stop there. A Lane Allen (Blinn CC) triple scored two more runs, and Lukas Torres (Wagner) brought home another run with a single that moved the Rockers back into the driver's seat 7-5.
Lakeshore answered in the seventh, but only scored once to draw within a single run, but they would get no closer. In the ninth, Green Bay put up five runs, thanks to a Cooper Kelly (Oral Roberts) double that scored two, and Lukas Torres (Wagner) crushed a triple, for his third and fourth RBIs of the game. But he did not stop there, stealing home on a wild pitch to score the Rockers' 12th run of the game. The Chinooks got another run in the final frame, but couldn't finish the rally, as Green Bay triumphs 12-7.
