Skylar Sievert was on the mound for the Woodchucks’ explosive first inning. After an error by Ben Fishel, Sievert loaded the bases, setting up Max Soliz for a grand slam and a 4-0 lead. The Rockers’ Coleman Lewis got his team on the board with a two-run shot to center field, making the score 5-2.
The Rockers found steady innings from the mound, courtesy of Henry Irwin, who threw four hitless innings and didn’t surrender any runs. The Rocker offense tied the game in the fifth, but the Woodchucks came alive in the eighth inning, with Jackson Petsche recording a two-RBI double and Soliz adding a two-RBI single.
