Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. - Playing their first back-to-back home games of the season, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (3-5) open a two-game set at Historic Witter Field Wednesday against the Lakeshore Chinooks (1-7).
The Rafters are coming off a 5-3 comeback victory on the road over the Wisconsin Woodchucks. The Wisconsin Rapids offense put up eight hits on the night, with Jake Dunham's 2-for-4 and three RBI performance leading the way.
The Chinooks won their season opener over Battle Creek, but have dropped seven straight entering their first of twelve games against the Rafters this season.
