The Green Bay Rockers continued their struggle against the Wausau Woodchucks, losing 6-1 in the series finale on Monday night in Ashwaubenon. This defeat brings the Rockers’ season record to an even 4-4, while the Woodchucks advance to 6-2.

Game Highlights

The game began with challenges for the Rockers as starting pitcher Caden Crask-Weeks was limited to just one inning due to exceeding the 35-pitch maximum. He allowed two runs, giving the Woodchucks an early lead with an RBI single from outfielder Anthony Cole.

Green Bay managed to respond in the bottom of the first inning. Catcher John Handy’s RBI groundout brought home RJ Furcal Jr., who had just been activated, leveling the score temporarily.

The game remained a pitchers’ duel until the fourth inning when Wausau executed a successful double steal. Jake Berkland crossed home plate while Ryan Chase was caught in a rundown, extending Wausau’s lead.

Despite five strong innings of relief pitching from Kaden Straily, who recorded five strikeouts, the Rockers couldn’t contain Wausau. In the ninth inning, Jace Souza hit a two-run homer, and Cole added another RBI single, marking his third RBI of the night.

Jack Garvey closed the game for Wausau by striking out the side, securing their two-game advantage in the Great Lakes West division.

Looking Ahead
