WAUSAU, WI – JULY 19, 2007 – (stats) Brent Weaver (Rose State College) drove in four runs and Matt Trausch (Oakland) tossed eight innings allowing just one run cutting down the Loggers 6-1. Weaver smacked a two RBI-double in the first and a two-run home run in the fifth, while Trausch retired 12 batters in a row from the second to the fifth.

Chucks move to 9-2 (25-20 overall) with the win and the Loggers drop to 3-8 (20-24 overall).

The Loggers took an early 1-0 lead in the first, but the Chucks countered in the bottom half scoring four runs. Two more in the fifth, thanks to the two-run bomb by Weaver, would end the scoring. In the ninth, Zak Moore (Creighton) loaded the bases but got a flyout to end the ballgame.

Nick Nordgren (Indian Hills C.C.), Matt Willard (Arkansas) and Darin Ruf (Creighton) each finished with a pair of hits. Nordgren’s two hits were infield singles, also swiping a base, as both Willard and Ruf each doubled.

Each infielder had at least four assists as Trausch had 16 ground ball outs versus seven fly outs.
