Drews Are Double Trouble for Dock Spiders
WAUSAU, Wis. – Eleven runs on 11 hits was enough for Wausau to prevail against Fond du Lac Saturday night at Athletic Park, winning 11-2.
Wausau (11-8) would strike first off a Simon Scherry (Evansville) RBI single to center field, allowing Drew Berkland (Minnesota) to cross home plate.
They would not hold the lead long, as Fond du Lac (5-14) would tie the game in the third.
After the sixth though, Wausau would not trail again – in fact they would dominate at the plate. Fond du Lac would only be allowed one more run, coming in the seventh.
The Woodchucks hit a plethora of home runs in the last three innings, scoring three in the sixth, five in the seventh, and two in the eighth. Four of those would be the result of two different two-run home runs from Drew Stengren (Central Michigan) and Jake Baker (Kansas).
Key Moments:
Center fielder Dalton Pearson (Georgia State) had key catches in the outfield, including a diving catch in first. He went 1/3 with two walks and two runs.
Right fielder Berkland went 2/3 with a home run, two RBIs, one walk, and two runs.
Stengren was also 2/3, hitting a two-run home run and scoring a run.
