July has not been kind to the Green Bay Rockers as they lost their fourth game in five tries on Saturday, falling to Fond du Lac 8-4 in a sunsplashed matinee.

 

The two teams traded single tallies early, but the Dock Spiders scored three runs in the third and sixth innings to take a commanding 7-1 lead. It was 8-1 when the Rockers finally fought back with three runs in the eighth inning thanks to an Aidan Kuni home run and run-scoring plays off the bats of Eli Selga and Alejandro Covas.

 

Selga and David Ballenilla paced the Rockers with two hits apiece while Kuni and Covas had the only RBI. Isaac Gammel took the loss, allowing three runs (3 ER) on two hits and two walks in one inning of work.

 

The loss followed a three-game sweep at the hands of the Lakeshore Chinooks, including dropping both ends of an Independence Eve doubleheader 6-5 and 9-3.

 

The Rockers will make their trip to Fond du Lac on Sunday for a 1:05 p.m. first pitch.
