The July 4th fireworks may be nearly a month away, but that didn’t stop Travis Stuczynski of Stevens Point from creating some fireworks of his own in the Thursday night Stevens Point Softball Association’s Jugger League. 

Stuczynski, playing for Papa Joes, was selected as the Player of the Game going 3 for 4 at the plate including a two run double, two run home run and scoring four runs with three RBIs and leading his team to a 19-5 win over the Knights of Columbus.  Papa Joes improved its record to 4-0.

The Player of the Game is co-sponsored by the Stevens Point Softball Association and Cousins Subs of Stevens Point.
