WAUSAU – The Green Bay Booyah were unable to square up Wisconsin Woodchucks starter Brett Wicklund, as he pitched a complete game Sunday, Aug.16, to beat the Booyah 5-1 in a Northwoods League game.
The lone run scored for Green Bay came in the fourth inning when they loaded the bases with one down.
Columbia’s Weston Eberly picked up the only RBI on a fielder’s choice, scoring Nick Kreutzer.
That was all Green Bay would muster against Wicklund, who became the first Woodchucks pitcher to throw a complete game this season.
The Booyah fell to 17-25 overall but still hold a one-game lead over Rockford for the final playoff spot.
On the mound, Northwestern freshman Jack Sauser went six innings, giving up two runs, one of which was earned.
The right hander picked up three strikeouts and walked two.
The six innings from Sauser made it his longest outing of the season, but he fell to 2-2 overall.
Bobby Dorta came in for the seventh and eighth innings, letting in three earned runs in the seventh off of three hits, all of which were singles.
Green Bay had one error defensively.
The Booyah head to Fond du Lac Monday, Aug. 17, to take on the Dock Spiders for a 6:35 p.m. game.
