Kenosha Kingfish News Release
Battle Creek, MI. - For the third consecutive time, the Kingfish fell to the Bombers of Battle Creek. This time, the final score read 10-5.
It was the Bombers who struck first with 3 runs off of Kingfish starter Brandon Allen in the second Frame. Allen would last just 4.2IP and give up 5 ER off of 8 hits. Trevor Haas allowed 4 hits and 3 runs in relief, though only one was earned. Ryan Orr, the Kalamazoo College freshman, would pitch a scoreless inning before being relieved by Garrett McKenzie, who surrendered a pair of runs to the Bombers. Finishing things off in relief was Dillon Mazzoccoli who would silence the Bombers the rest of the way.
Manager Duffy Dyer in a pregame interview said he wanted some of his hitters to step up and hit with "authority." Nick Sergakis answer the call with a 3-4 performance while going yard twice and driving in three runs against Battle Creek. Alex Borglin also stepped up with a 3-4 performance of his own which would see him plate a run as well. Eric Filia had a solid 2-4 performance which kept his average hovering well above .400 on the year, and Hunter Alexander brought in a run via a groundout.
Trek Stemp and Lin Li combined for 7 hits and 6 RBI against Kingfish pitching to help lead the Bombers to victory. Both teams sit with 5-4 records and share second place in the Northwoods League South Division with Battle Creek owning the tiebreaker in head to head competition. The two teams will square off again tomorrow at 7:05 ET.
