The Green Bay Rockers could not overcome a three-run first inning by the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters in dropping Tuesday’s game 10-4 at Capital Credit Union Field.

Wisconsin Rapids jumped on starting pitcher Mikel Howell for three runs as the Rockers had to use four pitchers in the game.

The Rockers battled back from a 5-0 deficit to cut the lead to 5-4 in the sixth inning, but the Rafters exploded for five runs in the seventh to seal the victory.

The Rockers managed ten hits in the game but could only muster four runs.  Luke Moeller led the way with two hits and an RBI, with every player in the lineup getting one hit each.  Taylor Schultz scored two runs for Green Bay, but it was not enough to overcome the Rafters big hitting night.

Chris Arroyo went 3-4 with one RBI and two runs scored for Wisconsin Rapids, hitting a solo home run in the game.

Cannon Restine (1-0) pickup up the win in relief, going two scoreless innings and striking out three.   Howell (2-1) took the loss for Green Bay.

The Rockers and Rafters will play again Wednesday night in Wisconsin Rapids, with the first pitch set for 6:35 p.m.
