Wausau Woodchucks News Release
WAUSAU, Wis. - Wausau would score their only runs in the first two innings to hold off Green Bay Friday evening at Athletic Park, winning 6-5.
The Rockers (2-2/23-17) would score two in the first but the Woodchucks would be quick to respond, scoring three in the bottom half. Two of the runs would come off a Christian Mitchelle (Central Michigan) two-RBI double, scoring Jesse Donohoe (Georgia State) and Mark Shallenberger (Evansville).
Green Bay would come back and score two more in the second, but Wausau (2-2/22-17) would regain the lead by scoring three off a Colin Brueggemann (Oklahoma State) three-RBI double.
After 10 collective runs in the first two innings, only one more run would be scored in the remaining seven.
Green Bay's singular run in the fourth would not be enough to outscore the Woodchucks.
Key Moments:
Relief pitcher Cole Hentschel (Richmond) would enter the game in the eighth with bases loaded, escaping the jam with one of three strikeouts in 1.1 innings pitched. He would also pick up a second save.
Brueggemann had a third straight multi-hit game, and now rides a 14-game hit streak into tomorrow.
Up Next:
Wausau will remain home Saturday night to face the Madison Mallards. First pitch is at 6:05 p.m. July 8 and it will be Princess Party at the Ballpark, presented by Dovorany Orthodontics.
