A six-run fourth inning capped off by a grand slam from Landon Gaz led the way for the Rafters in a 12-8 route over Green Bay Tuesday evening.
Green Bay would outhit the Rafters, 10-6, but five hit batters and eight walks, including five in the fourth, allowed for a timely hit to break the game open in the opposition's favor.
Wisconsin Rapids started the game scoring in the first six innings, but was then held scoreless by Rockers' relievers Mac Yarbrough (1.0 IP, 1 K) and Drew Aguiar (2.0 IP, 2 K). The pair retired seven straight to finish the game going back to the seventh.
Green Bay wouldn't go down without a fight of their own, scoring in three straight innings. A three-run fifth in part to a Jeremy Delamota home run, his lone hit in the game was followed with four in the sixth when Eric Jeon showed off his speed with a bases clearing triple and was brought home by a sacrifice fly from Aidan Kuni.
Both Jeon and Kuni finished 2-for-3 with an extra base hit and walk to lead the offense.
The Rockers would nearly erase their 10-run deficit, but couldn't get any closer than the final four-run difference after tacking on a run in the seventh.
