Kalamazoo puts up an even 14 runs on 28 hits in the series for their sixth straight win<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rockford, Ill. —<\/span><\/i> The Kalamazoo Growlers defeated the Rockford Rivets 8-3 to sweep the series and improve to 22-17 on the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spencer Juergens<\/b> (1-1, Missouri) went a season-high 7.0 innings and earned his first victory as a Growler. Juergens only allowed six hits and two earned runs, while striking out four Rivets in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The offense started for Kalamazoo in the second when <\/span>Jake Topolski<\/b> (Duke) drilled a two out double to score <\/span>Shea Kramer <\/b>(Utah).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KZoo held the lead at 1-0 until the fourth when <\/span>Miko Rodriguez<\/b> (Texas A&M) sent Kramer and <\/span>Clay Owens <\/b>(U of Southern California) home on a single.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Growlers once more in the fifth on a pair of errors by Rockford to bring home <\/span>Rudy Maxwell <\/b>(Duke) and tacked on three more in the sixth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Topolski led off the sixth with a single and would move up to third on a pair of groundouts. With two away, <\/span>Zack Gelof<\/b> (UVA) drove in his ACC foe on a single. In the ensuing at bat, Gelof stole second and came all the way around to score on a Maxwell RBI single. <\/span>Gabe Rivera<\/b> (Miami (FL)) then knocked his fourth double of year to score Maxwell.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Growlers led 7-0 moving to the bottom of the seventh when the Rivets finally scored on two run triple by Josh Dudden (Creighton), to score Cam McDonald (Illinois) and Matt Higgins (Bellarmine).<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo scored one more on a sacrifice fly from Rodriguez to bring in <\/span>Jimmy Sullivan<\/b> (UVA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockford cut into the deficit in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single from Easton Murrell (Texas Tech) but the final score would be 8-3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nate Schneiderman (3-1, Dubuque) earned his first loss of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Growlers return to action tomorrow at Capital Credit Union Park in Ashwaubenon, Wis., against the Green Bay Booyah. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. CT, 8:05 p.m. ET.<\/span><\/p>\n
