Wausau Woodchucks News Release
ASHWAUBENON, WI- It was a frustrating finish to Sunday afternoon for the Wausau Woodchucks on the road, as the Green Bay Rockers took both games in the seven-inning doubleheader, winning an exciting second game in walk-off fashion, 4-3.
Ryan Chase (Santa Fe CC/Kansas) reached all four times in the game, going 2-2 with two walks. Max Soliz Jr. (Kansas) hit his second home run of the summer, and also walked twice in the game.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Similar to game one, it was low scoring at the start, but the Rockers pulled in front in the third inning thanks to two runs. Wausau got a run back in the fourth inning when Joey McLaughlin (Arkansas) snagged an RBI on a groundout to make it 2-1.
Starting in the top of the sixth, the game has four straight frames where one run scored. Wausau tied the game on a home run over the deep left field wall by Max Soliz Jr., but Green Bay quickly retook the lead with a run in the bottom half of the sixth.
Wausau, however, battled until the end
