Wobrock, a second-year pro from of the University of Hawaii, entered the game in the top of the fifth inning and hit a two-out single off Rockford pitcher Kyle Hassna. In the eighth, Wobrock hit a leadoff double off Joliet relief pitcher Navery Moore, advanced on a wild pitch and scored to when Brandon Tierney of the Frontier Greys hit a sacrifice fly.
