FOND DU LAC, WI- The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (24-28) now have their first complete game shutout, and it belongs to Zack Kesterson. Kesterson's scintillating performance blanked the Battle Creek Bombers (29-22) 9-0.

It was a rough day for the Battle Creek offense. The Bombers didn't get their first hit until the third inning on a two out single. Battle Creek would only collect 5 hits through the game and only once the Bombers had a runner in scoring position. On five different occasions, Kesterson sent the Bombers down in order 1-2-3.

As masterful as Kesterson was, the offense carried its own as well. Fondy's offense would strike for five runs in the 2nd inning. Collin Ridout started the scoring with a two run single. Thomas Luevano would hit a sacrifice fly and with two outs, Chris Cornelius would single, Brandon Wulff would triple and the Dock Spiders lead 5-0 after two innings. 

Luevano would add two more RBI's in the 3rd inning, and Cornelius tacked on an RBI single in the 3rd as well. Luevano finished with three RBI's, while Cornelius finished the day 4-5 with two runs driven in.

Following the Dock Spiders sweep of the Bombers, Fondy will welcome in Madison to town tomorrow night for a 6:35 start. Adam Eck is the expected starter for Fondy.
