Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. - The Rafters fell to the La Crosse Loggers on Tuesday night, 6-3, with the Loggers picking up their sixth straight win early in the season.

La Crosse took the lead with a run in the third and Wisconsin Rapids matched the run with one of their own, tying the game at 3-3.

But the Loggers pulled away with the home run in the fifth, then scored a run in the seventh. La Crosse made it a three-run game with an insurance run in the ninth.

Jake Sandlin (Georgia College) kept swinging a hot bat, going 2-for-4, including his league-leading ninth double. Sam Tolleson (Central Florida) was also 2-for-4, picking up an RBI and scoring a run.
