Fond du Lac falls in back-to-back games to Wausau after a 10 run and 13 hit performance from the Woodchucks.

After the 12 strikeout performance against the Dock Spiders, Potts has the most strikeouts in a single game in the league for 2025.

Collin Senkpeil headlined the offensive production for Fond du Lac, being the only Dock Spiders to notch multiple hits in the game. Senkpeil finished the night going 2-for-3 with one walk. 

The only run for the Dock Spiders came in the bottom of the ninth courtesy of Patrick Graham who scored off a Sam Pease RBI single which helped avoid what could have been the Dock Spiders first shutout loss of the season
