The Green Bay Rockers offense came out strong in the early innings against the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters, scoring three in the first, two in the second, and two in the third en route to their 11-4 victory on Saturday night.

Game Highlights

Payton Fort started the scoring with a three-run homer off of Tristan Crusenberry. The Rockers had been desperate for production with two outs and runners in scoring position, and Fort provided. Green Bay’s scoring didn’t stop there. Max Humphrey scored Parker Martin with an RBI single in the second inning, and David Ballenilla tacked on another with a sacrifice fly.

In the third inning, Dom Bello came through with a two-run single into left center field to make the score 7-0 early. The Rocker catcher is batting .364 in his last 10 games. JT Guerrero was fantastic on the mound, going 6.1 innings pitched and only having one earned run.

Fort launched his second long ball of the evening off of Garrett McGuigan in the seventh inning. The Rockers scored three more on a pair of wild pitches and another Ballenilla sacrifice fly off of Erick Soto, a position player for the Rafters.

Holden Harris was first out of the pen for Green Bay, extending his scoreless streak to 14 innings. KJ Ward had the ninth inning, where he touched triple digits, hitting 99 several times and getting all the way up to 100. The Rockers sealed the 11-4 victory, snapping their five-game losing skid.
