Kenosha Kingfish News Release
Kenosha, Wis. - No extra base hits on the night for the Kingfish, but a spectacular pitching performance and a couple of two out runs were all the Kingfish needed in a 6-2 victory over the Battle Creek Bombers Saturday night at Simmons Field.
The Kingfish (39-19) scored first in the bottom of the second on a two out RBI single by Mitch Gasbarro to bring around Jeremy Vasquez and make it 1-0 Kingfish. Continuing with the trend, the Kingfish scored with two outs in the bottom of the third inning. First, Vasquez reached home on a wild pitch. Later in the inning, with the bases full of Kingfish, Zach Weigel reached on an error by the left fielder, scoring two runs. An RBI single from Eric Filia and a run via an error by the Bombers gave Kenosha a 6-0 lead after six.
Gasbarro powered the offense with a 3-3 performance with a walk and RBI. Vasquez scored two runs and Filia chipped in an RBI.
