Wausau Woodchucks
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – The Woodchucks started their longest road trip of the 2026 season by pulling through late to beat the Lakeshore Chinooks in Mequon on Saturday night, 9-7.
With the game tied in the ninth inning, Caleb Danzeisen had a go-ahead two-run home run that ended up being the pivotal swing of the game. It was the first home run of the season for the freshman, and he finished 2-for-3 with three runs scored, two RBIs, and two walks.
The homer made Danzeisen the eighth different Wausau player to hit a home run this season, and despite Lakeshore’s late charge, Wausau is now 10-1 this season when leading after five innings.
Wausau’s pitchers continued their dominance as Huxley Holcombe allowed just one unearned run in his first start of the summer. Brady Wright became the first Northwoods League pitcher to record four wins this year with five strikeouts and two innings out of the bullpen. Reece Clapp faced the minimum in the ninth, earning his second save of the week.
The Woodchucks return to Kapco Park for their second game of four on the road against the Lakeshore Chinooks on Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. Wausau’s next home game will be Friday, June 19, when they host the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders at 6:35 p.m.
