Kenosha, Wisc. – The Bombers came to Kenosha for the first time today to take on one of the new teams to the Northwoods League—the Kingfish. The reception for the Bombers was less than friendly, the Kingfish one hit the Bombsquad and plated eight runs of their own in the series opener.

Dakota Mekkes (Michigan State) got the start for the Bombers and for the first time all year was hit solidly by his opponent. The Kingfish jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first and didn’t look back.

The Kingfish would score seven runs over the next five innings putting the Bombers into a deep hole.

The Bombers made some noise of their own in the 5^th when a throwing error allowed Conor Panas (Canisius) to get on base. That error was followed up by four straight walks, scoring two runs for the Bombers. A Joey Havrilak (Akron) sacrifice fly would bring in the third run for the Bombers.  Going into the bottom of the 5^th the score was 5-3, Kingfish.

The Kingfish would score three more runs, putting the game out of reach for a Bombers team that struggled to hit the ball all day.

The Bombers will try to take the series finale tomorrow, 8:05pm Eastern Time first pitch.
