Wausau Woodchucks
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – Wausau pulled off another ninth-inning comeback on Friday to top Lakeshore 4-3 at Athletic Park.
With one out on the bottom of the 9th, the Woodchucks got singles by Jake Baker (Kansas), Anthony McFarland (California-Riverside) and Mark Shallenberger (Evansville) to load the bases. Dalton Pearson (Georgia State) then recorded an RBI single, setting the table for his college teammate Jesse Donohoe who would be the hero with a two-RBI double into left field.
Lakeshore has now been walked off in three straight games.
Colby Wallace (Cal. State Fullerton) hit his first home run of the season, which was the only run until the three-run ninth inning.
Friday’s game featured a brief rain delay.
The Wausau bullpen combined of Brock Turkington (Ripon (WI)), Garrett Lott (Bossier Parish (LA)), and Richie LaCien (Lawrence (WI)) threw six shutout innings, combining for 10 strikeouts. They also only allowed a combined four hits in those six innings.
Wausau rides a three-game win streak into a two-game road set with the Green Bay Rockers. First pitch from Capital Credit Union Park will be at 6:05 p.m. Saturday, July 15.
