WISCONSIN RAPIDS — The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters move to 3-1 on the season and sport a three-game win streak after the June 1 contest against the Wisconsin Woodchuck,s who are now 1-3.

The Rafters started off hot in the home opener. After a three-up-three-down inning,the Rafters responded heavily with four hits in a row. Steven Rivas (Long Beach State) started off the first with a single, followed by a single from Payton Robertson (Lamar). Jack-Thomas Wold (UNLV) bombed a double to left center to bring Rivas home putting the Rafters up 1-0. Batting cleanup, Caeden Harris (St. Cloud State) placed a single on the left side scoring Robertson. Two batters and one out later Bret Fehr (SIU Edwardsville) had a sacrifice fly to deep right field scoring Harris to give the Rafters an early and commanding 3-0 lead.

The score remained unchanged until the fifth inning when the Woodchucks put up two runs. The Rafters still led the game 3-2.

Wisconsin Rapids puts up another run in the sixth to answer the Woodchucks. With two outs, Bret Fehr advanced on an error and Jake Dunham (Northern Illinois) stretched a double to score Fehr making the score 4-2. The cranberry and gold also add two runs in the seventh, set up by a single from Robertson and an error. Those two came home when Jake Dunham collected two RBIs with a double to right field. This put the Rafters up 6-2.

Jake Dunham went 1-3 today with an RBI and a double to add to his stats. Steven Rivas went 2-5, with one run and one double.

In his debut for the Rafters, Ryan Byrd (SIU Edwardsville) pitched 6.0 innings pitching a no hitter through four innings. He gave up two unearned runs and struck out seven.
