Wausau Woodchucks
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — The Wausau Woodchucks’ pitching staff had another tough outing in a 7-17 home loss to the Dock Spiders.
It was all Dock Spiders from the jump, as Clayton Burke (Cen. Methodist U) allowed two in the third and finished his outing with three earned runs, pitching just 3.1 innings.
The Chucks scored one in the third on a Trey Gambill (Oklahoma U) RBI double, scoring Drew Berkland (U of Minnesota). The Chucks trailed 1-3 after three innings.
It would be five straight innings where the Dock Spiders plated at least one run home. In the 4th and 5th it was one run in each. The 6th saw three runs cross, and the 7th saw nine runs come home.
The Chucks did have some positives on offense as Brayden Smith (Iowa Western Community College) found his first HR of the season in the 6th. The next inning Bryce Hubbard (Georgia U) hit his second HR in as many days, a two-run shot to right field.
The 8th saw three more for the Chucks, as Jonah St. Antoine (U of Pittsburg) hit his first HR of the season. But Wausau went three up, three down in the 9th
The Chucks move to 20-5 on the season and head to Fond Du Lac on Saturday looking to split the two-game, two-site series. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM.
