A five-run sixth inning was the difference last Saturday as Rhinelander Gray came from behind to defeat Laser Pros International 7-4 at Stafford Field in a battle of Rhinelander's two Northwoods Babe Ruth Senior League squads.

Singles by Asher Johnson and David Schramke started the rally. Liam Stevens and Nate Cogar also recorded hits in the five-run frame.

The rally made a winner out of Stevens on the hill. He went the distance for the Grays, allowing four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts.

The Grays scored two in the top of the first, but Laser Pros rallied with two runs each in the fourth and fifth innings to take the lead. Martin Hoger and Eric Grulke had two hits each for Laser Pros. Kamerin Resch, Logan Oestreich and Eddie Bauer had the remainder of the team's seven base knocks.

Grulke went 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision for Laser Pros, allowing four runs on six hits with six strikeouts. Josh Randolph took the loss in relief, pitching 1 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs on a hit and struck out four.

Both teams had seven hits in the contest. Nate Cogar led Rhinelander Gray with a 2-for-2 day at the plate. Schramke, Johnson, Danny Zuiker, Stevens and Jake Wilmot had the other hits.
