Kenosha Kingfish News Release
La Crosse, Wis. - The Kingfish (7-12) surrendered a late solo home run to La Crosse Logger centerfielder Gerrett Zech, and the Kingfish took a 4-3 loss at Copeland Park.
The Kingfish scored first with their own long ball. Gunnar McNeill blasted a solo shot to left in the 2nd, and the Kingfish owned a 1-0 lead. La Crosse responded with 2 runs in the bottom of the 3rd off of a Lorenzo Hampton Jr. 2-RBI double.
In the fifth, the Kingfish got two off of a fielder's choice and a subsequent throwing error, but La Crosse came back to tie it again in the bottom of the frame, 3-3. Gerrett Zech's blast in the 7th then became the difference.
Brendon Allen started on the mound for the Kingfish, and allowed 2 runs in 4 innings of action. Chase Thurston followed with three innings of relief, in which he allowed 2 Loggers to cross the plate. Colton Lee pitched a perfect 8th inning for the Kingfish.
The bottom of the order paced the Kingfish offense. Micah Coffey went 2 for 3 with a walk, and Cullen Jozwiak went 2 for 4 with a run scored. Gunnar McNeill had a 1 for 4 day at the plate, which included his solo home run to left.
The Kingfish will play the Loggers tomorrow and finish the four game road trip. On Monday, the Kingfish have a double header and will play Lakeshore in Mequon at 11:35 AM and then back in Kenosha at 7:05 PM.
