WAUSAU, WI - The Wisconsin Woodchucks and the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters each got to call themselves both winners and losers today.
The Woodchucks won the first game by a final score of 4-2. Playing as the home team hitting in the bottom half of each inning, the Woodchucks scored first in the fourth. Wisconsin Rapids loaded the bases and walked two runs in to give the Woodchucks an early 2-0 lead.
