KALAMAZOO, MI- After last night’s 9-8 win at Fond Du Lac, the Growlers claimed a four-game lead over three teams in the division with five games remaining in the first half. Kalamazoo can clinch with a win tonight if Battle Creek, Traverse City and Rockford all fail to win.
The Growlers need just two wins over the next five games to clinch the Great Lakes East title regardless of results elsewhere. This would be the first division championship in franchise history and give KZoo their first playoff berth since 2019.
You can catch all the action on the Kalamazoo Growlers Radio Network (https://mixlr.com/kzoo-growlers) tonight at Fond Du Lac at 7:35 Eastern or follow along on twitter for live updates for what could be a very historic night for the Growlers.
