Wausau Defeats Fond du Lac, 10-1
Friday night’s game between the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders and Wausau Woodchucks was called after five innings due to rain and lightning, with the Woodchucks earning a 10-1 victory.
Fond du Lac opened the scoring in the second inning when catcher Carson Willis hit his first home run of the season. Wausau responded by scoring 10 unanswered runs, including an eight-run fifth inning. Following the completion of the fifth inning, severe weather moved into the area, resulting in a delay before the game was ultimately called.
In the shortened contest, the Dock Spiders recorded three hits, coming from Carson Willis, Vincent Venverloh and Reed Strohmeyer.
Fond du Lac’s offense drew three walks and struck out seven times against Wausau pitching.
On the mound, Zak White led the Dock Spiders with seven strikeouts over four innings. Fond du Lac pitchers allowed 10 runs on 10 hits, with five hits and eight runs coming during Wausau’s fifth-inning rally.
