Kenosha, Wis. - Kingfish starter Rico Garcia's six plus innings, four strikeout outing was not enough for Kenosha, as the Kingfish fell 4-2 to the Green Bay Bullfrogs Monday night at Simmons Field.
The Bullfrogs (39-28) jumped on Garcia early, hitting for three runs in the top of the first. Danny Rosenbaum highlighted the Green Bay scoring with a two RBI double in the inning.
The Kingfish (46-21) tried to chip away at the Green Bay lead, scoring on an error in the first and an RBI single from Eric Filia in the fifth to make it 4-2 Bullfrogs. That was as close as the Kingfish could get all night, losing by two.
