FOND DU LAC, WI- The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (35-27) dropped a game to the Kalamazoo Growlers (37-26) by a score of 3-2.<\/p>\n

Fondy was only able to muster up three hits, two of which came off the bat of Zac Taylor (Illinois)<\/strong>. With a runner on in the first and one out Taylor would get his first double of the season setting up the first run of the ball game. Cole Zabowski (Ole Miss)\u00a0<\/strong>followed with a ground out into the infield but would pick up an RBI on the play giving Fond du Lac a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The second run of the inning would be scored on the Growlers lone error of the ball game.<\/p>\n

Kalamazoo would add on one in the 3rd inning and the two runs they added in the 7th would prove to be the difference.<\/p>\n

The Growlers were led by their starting pitcher Kyle Virbitsky (Penn State)<\/strong>\u00a0who threw 8 innings, surrendering just one hit.<\/p>\n

Fond du Lac will play host to the Kalamazoo Growlers for one more time this season tomorrow night at 6:35 PM on Harry Potter night.<\/p>\n
