Wausau Breaks Six-Game Home Losing Streak
August 7, 2023 - Northwoods League (Northwoods)
Wausau Woodchucks News Release
WAUSAU, Wis. - Scoring 11 runs off nine hits was able to get the job done for Wausau Monday night at Athletic Park, as they were able to beat Fond du Lac 11-6.
After the Woodchucks (13-19/33-34) took an early 6-1 lead, they would see that lead diminish after five unanswered across back-to-back innings by the Dock Spiders.
But a four-run Woodchuck fifth would give them the winning lead as they would not allow another run to Fond du Lac (15-17/28-39) the rest of the way.
Key Moments:
Christian Mitchelle (Cincinnati) had a three-hit night, going 3/3 with a double, an RBI, two runs and a stolen base.
Ryan Blanchard (Chico State (CA)) hit his first Northwoods League home run, a solo shot that gave Wausau a 2-1 lead in the second. He also scored the leading seventh run on a triple steal in the fifth.
Speaking of steals, Wausau stole a total of 10 bases in Monday's win.
Up Next:
Wausau heads down to Herr-Baker Field one last time Tuesday to play the Dock Spiders for the season finale between the two. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. Aug 8.
