Kalamazoo, Mich. - The Kalamazoo Growlers were defeated on Friday night by the Wisconsin Woodchucks by the score of 2-0 at Homer Stryker Field in Kalamazoo, Mich. in front of 2,094 fans.

Danny Mokrzycki (St.Cloud State) got the start for the Growlers (8-12) and allowed just two runs off six hits over seven innings pitched. He also struck out one batter on the evening, while walking no Woodchucks (14-8) batter.
