Kalamazoo Growlers News Release
Kalamazoo, Mich. - On June 19, Kalamazoo Growlers left-handed pitcher Ryan Kraft was named the Northwoods League pitcher of the night.
Kraft, in his second outing of the season, was lights out against the Kenosha Kingfish. The southpaw struck out a Growlers franchise record 14 batters across six scoreless innings just giving up three hits without walking a batter.
Facing just 21 batters, Kraft struck out the side three separate times propelling the Growlers to a team-record 20 total strikeouts in a 1-0 win in game one of the doubleheader.
