The Greater Green Bay Blue Ribbons were unable to earn a victory in either of the two back-to-back games they played against the Burlington Barons with final scores of 4-1 and 9-3. In game one, Burlington scored in the first inning on a double hit by Ben Siekierski and a single by Ben LaRonge which gave them a lead they never lost. Green Bay didn’t score their only run for the afternoon until the sixth inning when Jake Berg hit a RBI double that scored Sam Kohnle. Similar to the first game, Burlington scored immediately in the first inning of the second game, putting four runs on the board which allowed them to maintain their lead throughout the game. Green Bay’s inability to stop the Baron’s offense ultimately led to their third consecutive loss to Burlington.
