Post-Crescent headline: Foxes cruise past Timbers
From Gary Shriver's article:
Wausau - which has seen everything imaginable during a 9-game losing streak - didn't decide on its starting pitcher until just before gametime Sunday, and then probably made the wrong choice.Kent started the second with a home run. Greg Tarnow and Mike Taylor both had RBI singles in the inning and 7-0 was a big enough lead for Ken Reed, who threw six shutout innings.
Left-hander BRett Davis couldn't find the plate for much of the first inning, walking Pete Venturini, Troy Thomas, Jerry Bertolani, and Wes Kent to force in a run. Davis got the ball over to the following 2 hitters. Buck Autry responded with a 2-run single and John Caianiello followed with a run producing single to make it 4-0.
The Foxes are 60-35 on the season. They hold first place in the Northern Division of the Midwest League. Kenosha and Madison are both tied for second place 12.5 games behind the Foxes.
