Wausau Woodchucks
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – Down four runs into the eighth Thursday night at Athletic Park, Wausau was able to rally and walk off Lakeshore 8-7.
After the Chinooks (6-5/20-25) took a three-run lead off a Carsen Hansen (UW-Milwaukee) home run in the seventh, it seemed like this was a game that may not go Wausau’s way.
Fast forward to the eighth, where Lakeshore would add another to make it a 7-3 game. But then the Woodchucks flipped the script.
With two outs in the inning, a hit by pitch, a single, and a walk loaded the bases for Wausau (5-5/25-20). Mark Shallenberger (Evansville) would be walked which brought up Colin Brueggemann (Oklahoma State), who had already hit a home run earlier in the game.
Brueggemann now has home runs in back-to-back games and two straight games with two extra-base hits. Pearson had another multi-hit game, his 15th of the season.
Wausau remains home for a second game against the Lakeshore Chinooks. The first pitch Friday, July 14 will be at 6:35 p.m. and there will be a post-game fireworks show, presented by Marshfield Children’s Hospital.
