Wausau Woodchucks News Release
FOND DU LAC, Wis. - With the game tied at 4-4 into the ninth, Wausau used seven runs in the frame to guide themselves to an 11-4 win Tuesday night at Herr-Baker Field.
Fond du Lac (15-18/28-40) led 4-2 into the seventh in a game that felt like it might not go Wausau's way.
But don't count out the Woodchucks (14-19/34-34), as two runs began the stretch of nine unanswered the rest of the way.
Wausau wins the season series over Fond du Lac 7-5, the record by which Fond du Lac won last summer. Wausau also finishes 2-4 at Herr-Baker Field.
Key Moments:
Richie LaCien (Lawrence (WI)) picked up the win, going one-two-three in both his innings of work. He also picked up a strikeout.
The Dock Spiders committed three costly errors in the ninth, helping lead the Woodchucks to the seven runs in the frame.
Up Next:
Wausau begins its final three-game homestand Wednesday as Lakeshore comes to town. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. Aug 9 and it will be a mystery bobblehead giveaway night.
