ASHWAUBENON –The Green Bay Booyah defeated the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders on Monday night at Capital Credit Union Park in Ashwaubenon, 4-2.
The Booyah scored one in the first inning after DaysonCroes’ (Quincy) RBI groundout to first base scored Brendan Ryan (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi).
The Booyah added another in the third when Dalton Pearson’s (Georgia State) RBI single down the left-field line scored Ryan.
In the fourth, with two away, Nathan Blasick (West Virginia) worked a walk, which was followed by an Elias Flowers (Jacksonville) walk.
Nadir Lewis (Princeton) then hit a double to left field that scored Blasick to give Green Bay a 3-0 lead.
The Dock Spiders stayed in the game by scoring one in the sixth and another in the eighth on a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2.
The Booyah picked up an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth when Blasick hit a double, narrowly missing a home run, high off the video board in right field.
He came in when Flowers hit a single up the middle that was knocked down by the second baseman, but the ball trickled away.
Blasick took advantage of that and scored from second.

Mason Coon (Illinois-Springfield) picked up the save, his first of the season.
