(GREEN BAY ROCKERS) ASHWAUBENON, Wis. — It took a few innings to get the spark, but once the Rockers lit the fire, they never looked back.
Green Bay battled through early offensive struggles Sunday afternoon before stringing together a three-run sixth inning that proved to be the difference in a 3-1 win over the Traverse City Pit Spitters. The victory completed a clean sweep for the Rockers, who head into the new week riding high.
Traverse City opened the scoring with a lone run in the third inning, but the Rockers responded with gritty, team-first baseball. The momentum shifted when Caleb Daniel delivered a crucial base hit that breathed life into the Rockers’ dugout. Not long after, Collin Helms knocked a ball through the infield, plating the tying run and resetting the tone.
With the bases juiced and the Pit Spitters on their heels, Cooper Smith launched a deep fly ball to the warning track—plenty far enough to drive in two more and give Green Bay a 3-1 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
From there, the bullpen locked in. Jayden Martin came on for the save and shut the door with confidence, sealing the Rockers’ third straight win and a statement sweep against a division rival.
The Rockers return home Monday night to host the Lakeshore Chinooks at Capital Credit Union Park. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.,
