Caleb Daniel got things started with a bang, launching a solo home run in the first inning to give the Rockers an early 1-0 lead. But Wausau didn’t stay quiet for long — a two-run homer in the second and a solo shot in the third gave the visitors a 3-1 advantage.
After a quiet stretch, Collin Helms brought the crowd back to life in the sixth with a solo home run that cut the deficit to one. In the seventh, Eric Jeon came through with a clutch RBI double to tie things up at 3-3. Another Rockers base hit gave Green Bay the lead once again at 4-3.
