Rockers erupt in extras to top 'Chucks

The Green Bay Rockers pushed the game into the 11th and scored more runs than they did the previous 10 innings in a 13-7 win over the host Wausau Woodchucks.

 

The two teams traded three-run innings early with the Rockers completing the feat in the first inning and the Woodchucks matching it in the second. A Carlos Hernandez sacrifice fly gave the Rockers a lead in the fourth inning, but they found themselves chasing after that when the Woodchucks scored twice in the fifth. The Rockers tied the game in the seventh and the eighth with single tallies, but they would bat around and then some in the 11th inning. Kendal Ewell cleared the bases with a triple and would score three more times later in the inning without the ball ever leaving the infield. 

 

Hernandez led the way with three RBI on a 1-4 night while two others drove in two runs. The Rockers' pitching staff struck out 14 Woodchucks, including winning pitcher Tyler Horvath, who went the final 4.1 innings to strike out six.

 

The Rockers head home for a pair against the Lakeshore Chinooks beginning at 6:35 p.m.
