(GREEN BAY ROCKERS) ASHWAUBENON – The pitching was the spotlight again, as Eddy Eveland (Delta State) tossed seven innings of two-run baseball, leading the Rockers to a decisive 10-2 victory over the Madison Mallards.
The Rocker righty handed Madison his best pitches Wednesday night, lasting seven innings and allowing just three hits, two runs, and one walk. Additionally, Eveland struck out five Mallards and made it his fifth straight start of at least five or more innings pitched.
The offense also jumped on Madison early, as the new faces in town took hold of the scoring. Dawson Schmidt (St. Cloud State) hammered a grand slam in a wild third inning that saw Green Bay tack on five runs total. Schmidt started his Rocker debut with a three-hit day while adding four RBIs.
Mason Avant (Tallahassee State CC) and Isaac Verbruggen (Carroll) shut down the rest of the Mallards’ order in the 8th and 9th, leading to Green Bay’s 13th straight home win. The Rockers have now not lost at Capital Credit Union Park since July 4th.
The Rockers trail first-place Lakeshore by 4 1/2 games and Wausau by 1 1/2 games.
The Rockers head on a four-game road trip tomorrow, beginning with a two-game set in Battle Creek, followed by two in Royal Oak.
