FOND DU LAC, WI -The Dock Spiders hit the road in search of their third straight win on Tuesday night as they took on the Kenosha Kingfish. The Dock Spiders scored first as a fielder choice from Paul Smith (Rice) allowed Jack Gorman (Presbyterian) to score which gave the Dock Spiders an early lead. The Kingfish answered the bell as they scored one run in the bottom of the first and then another one in the bottom of the second off an RBI single from Matt Wolfe in the first, (Vanderbilt) and then a wild pitch from Dock Spiders starter Jacob Young (Fairmont State) scored Mason Morris (Ole Miss). Young settled in and tossed five innings of three run ball but surrendered three runs. The Dock Spiders registered two hits all night as Kingfish starter Cole Tolbert (Ole Miss) hurled five innings of one hit ball. The Kingfish turned to reliever Alex Karns (Chandler-Gilbert) for the later innings, and he kept the Dock Spiders offense at bay. Kars tallied four innings of one hit ball and struck out five Dock Spiders. In the bottom of the eighth, Dock Spiders closer Zach Silfies was called upon out of the bullpen and with two outs and surrendered a two-run home run to Reagan Burford (Ole Miss) that sealed the game as the Kingfish took a 5-1 victory.
