ASHWAUBENON—Cooper Morrison (UC Davis) had two hits and scored a run as the Green Bay Booyah defeated the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders by a final of 4-1 in a game played June 23 at Capital Credit Union Park.

Chandler Ingram got the win for the Booyah going 1 1/3 innings giving up one hit with a pair of strike outs. Of his 17 pitches thrown, Ingram threw 12 that were right down the middle of the plate.

Jaret Godman (Oklahoma) got the save for Green Bay in the ninth.

Ryan Bader took the loss for the Dock Spiders lasting only 5 1/3 innings after giving up nine hits, three runs and two walks.

Fond du Lac got out of the gates quickly.

Sam Novitske opened with a walk, and Aaron Anderson singled to left field.

After two ground outs, Novitske scored from third base to give the Dock Spiders a 1-0 lead after half of the inning was completed.

The Booyah couldn’t take advantage of opportunities, stranding five baserunners through the fifth inning to continue to trail by one run.

In the bottom of the sixth, their luck changed.

Jarrett Ford and Nick Kreutzer led off with back-to-back singles to open the half inning up.

After a ground out in which Ford advanced to third, Ty Herrenbruck connected on an up-and-in single to score Ford and even the game at one apiece.

The Booyah were just getting started.

Justin Greene stepped in and took two strikes to start his at-bat. With the count at 3-2, Greene ripped a double off Bader that scored Chris Williams who was pinch running for Kreutzer to put Green Bay up 2-1.

A ground out by Ali LaPread scored Herrenbruck with one out to give the Booyah a 3-1 lead.

In the bottom of the seventh, Green Bay’s Morrison scored after two wild pitches and a hit-by-pitch cost the Dock Spiders another run.

Tanner Lane and Goodman pitched flawlessly in the eight and ninth innings to improve Green Bay to 14-13 on the season, 4.5 games behind league leading Madison (Mallards).

Box Score:

Fond du Lac: 100 000 000—190

Green Bay: 000 003 10x—490
