Aaron Woods, Redbirds Roll On

Aaron Woods and the Marinette Redbirds just keep on rolling. The lefthander continued his unbelievable strikeout pace by fanning 21 batters in a 4-0 win over Tri-City Sunday.

On the season, Woods has totaled 71 strikeouts in 31 innings and registered 3 straight outings of 20 whiffs or more.

“Aaron has been lights out the last 3 games and was unbelievable on Sunday. He is averaging better than two strikeouts per inning, which is unheard of. Aaron has been tough to hit because his fastball tails away from righthanders and breaking ball away from lefties. Right now, I’m glad we don’t have to face him,” Redbird coach Nick Brukardt said.

Now 8-4 overall and 5-0 in the Wishigan League, Marinette holds a game lead over second place Felch (4-1). The birds picked up a tight 5-4 non-league road win over Shawano Wednesday.

Elsewhere in Wishigan League action, Crivitz and Menominee split a pair of games. The host Storm claimed an 8-7 Wednesday win while Crivitz bounced back with a 4-0 Sunday victory behind a 14-strikeout effort from Jeff Baumann.

Felch moved into second place with an 8-5 Wednesday win over Escanaba while Gillett knocked off Kingsford.

21 As Redbirds Roll

Past Tri-City 4-Zip

Once again Aaron Woods dominated on the mound, setting down 21 batters to key a 4-0 Redbird win over host Tri-City Sunday.

Marinette staked Woods to the only run he would need in the opening inning as Jordan Powers and Jordan Rasner drew walks. Following a stolen base, Powers headed home on a sac fly off the bat of Adam Francour.

The birds fluttered their wings for two more runs in the fifth on two hits. Powers worked his way on base with a walk, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Rasner. A run scoring double by Francour plated Rasner.

With two outs in the 8th inning, Cody Woods and Cully Falkenberg walked while Ryan Johnson added a RBI single.
