The game time temperature Wednesday night at Hermance Stadium was near 99°.
Almost as hot were the Cracker bats. Cracker right fielder Jared White sent a 2-2 pitch whistling over the right field wall for his first homer of the year and the Crackers would jump out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning. The Bucks would chip away at that lead over the next few innings, trimming the lead to 4-3. The Crackers would add one more run in the 5th on a series of defensive miscues by the Bucks and extend the lead to 5-3.
The Cracker bullpen continues to shine allowing only three hits after the 2nd inning. Eight Cracker pitchers would scatter nine Bucks hits while striking out six and walking just three on the night. Starter Zach Turner picked up the win. Reliever Ryan Suppa would allow his first hit of the season in ten appearances and pick up the save.
Top offensive performers were: Jared White 2 for 4 with a homer and 3 RBI. Jamarie Brooks 2 for 3 with an RBI. Scott Campbell was 2 for 4.
