Wausau Sweeps Doubleheader Against Wisconsin Rapids

Wausau Woodchucks News Release


WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. - Wausau came in and played spoiler to Wisconsin Rapids Saturday at Witter Field, sweeping the doubleheader by winning scores of 3-2 and 5-3.

The Rafters (16-13/36-28) entered the day winners of six straight (three against Wausau) and in first place in the Great Lakes West, but the Woodchucks had plans to change that.

Going up 2-0 early in each game was key for Wausau (12-18/32-33) as they never trailed in either game Saturday.

Big help from the pitching staff was also key, as game one starter Henry Cone (McClennan Cc (TX)) went 7.1 innings, only allowing two runs off five hits while striking out five. Garrett Lott (Bossier Parish (LA)) would come in for the final five outs and strike out four, earning his first save.

In game two, it was the combined work of Chandler Freeman (Abilene Christian), Garrett Brunstetter (Western KY) and Logan Haslam (Willamette (OR)) who propelled Wausau to its 12th second half win.

If you go back to the first half - after losing the first three at Witter Field this season - Wausau finishes winning three in a row at the home of the Rafters.

Up Next:

Wausau faces off against Wisconsin Rapids for one final time this season at Athletic Park Sunday. First pitch will be at 1:05 p.m. Aug 6.
