KALAMAZOO, MI - The Dock Spiders earned their first road victory since May 28, defeating the Kalamazoo Growlers 13-4 after an eight-run eighth inning.
Fond du Lac opened the scoring in the first inning when Quincy Mazeke scored on a Carson Willis RBI ground-rule double. Kalamazoo responded in the bottom half of the inning, taking a 2-1 lead. The Dock Spiders regained the advantage in the second as Kane Wilson drove in Luke Meyer with a sacrifice fly, and Willis followed with an RBI single that scored Dylan Archuleta.
The Dock Spiders added to their lead in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Cam Uzzillia and a throwing error that allowed Carson Willis to score. Kalamazoo answered in the fifth, cutting the deficit to 5-4. Fond du Lac then broke the game open in the eighth, scoring eight runs with the help of eight walks, one hit and two sacrifice flies.

Offensively, catcher Carson Willis led the way, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a game-high three RBI. Center fielder Quincy Mazeke and first baseman Luke Meyer also recorded multiple-hit performances.
