June 11, 2008
WAUSAU, WI – June 11, 2008 -  (stats) Through thirteen games, the Woodchucks (11-2) are looking like the team to beat in the Northwoods League. Behind the outstanding arm of Bobby Pritchett (Central Arkansas) and the continued offensive surge, the 'Chucks handily defeated the Green Bay Bullfrogs (5-8) 10-1 Wednesday night at Athletic Park.

In his second start of the season Pritchett dominated the Bullfrogs, at one point retiring 14 straight Green Bay batters. He allowed no runs on only two infield singles while striking out eight and walking none. The effort netted Pritchett his second win of the season. Rob Currie (Tusculum) worked three innings of solid relief to finish off the game.

The 'Chucks bats continued to support the pitching as eight of nine starters had at least one base hit. Kyle Bubak (Salt Lake CC) went 1 for 2 with two RBI and a run scored, while Carson Vitale (McClennan CC) finished 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored. Chris Wade (Kentucky) and Chris Slater (Baylor) each scored a pair of runs, while Kyle Wilson (Hill CC) added two RBI.

Former Woodchuck Riley Tincher (Northern Iowa Area CC) got the start for the Bullfrogs and picked up the loss. Dwight Tanaka (California) had two of the five Bullfrog hits. 

The Woodchucks look to make it eight straight as they host the Green Bay Bullfrogs tomorrow at Athletic Park. The first 500 fans will receive a Woodchucks baseball and there are post-game fireworks. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. with gates opening at 5:35 p.m.
