Woodchucks Survive Late Green Bay Surge to Sweep Rockers

Green Bay Rockers News Release


Ashwaubenon, Wis. - Green Bay's struggles vs. the Woodchucks continued Thursday night, as they fell 9-5 in Wausau, Wisconsin, which meant a sweep for the Woodchucks. Despite an early 4-0 lead, Green Bay could not rally from a Wausau five-spot in the fourth, and the Woodchucks would never relinquish the lead.

Green Bay's offense got off to a hot start, with a solo shot from shortstop Michael Dee in the 2nd inning, over the left-center field wall at Athletic Park. A two-RBI single from Eli Selga made it 3-0, while Seungmin Shin scored on a passed ball, giving the Rockers a 4-0 advantage.

Alex Heintz was on the bump for Green Bay and tossed three one-run innings with four strikeouts and just one walk. In the fourth, the ball was turned over to Caden Roth, who made his Rocker debut. Roth went just one-third of an inning, allowing four runs, in what was the start of Wausau's most productive inning offensively.

Some life was given to Green Bay in the top of the 7th inning, as Caden Mitchell drove in his first run of the season on a fielder's choice grounder to shortstop, Jake Berkland, which scored Eli Selga, and brought the Rockers back within one.

However, any momentum was quickly stifled, as Wausau, guided by a leadoff double from Trey Purser and back-to-back walks, added 3 more to their total, and gave a cushion to their closer, Reece Clapp. In the top of the 9th, Clapp came on and finished off the Rockers, despite two walks to lead off the inning. In total, Green Bay left 11 on base.
