Kalamazoo gets the win despite 15 runners left on base\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rockford, Ill., — <\/span><\/i>The Kalamazoo Growlers defeated the Rockford Rivets 4-3, on a game winning hit-by-pitch in the top of the ninth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Growlers improve to 11-9 in the second half, still occupying second place behind Traverse City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockford took a 1-0 lead after three on an RBI single from Matt Higgins (Bellarmine) to score Andrew Wilhite (Minnesota).<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo responded with three runs in the top of the fifth, on an RBI single by <\/span>Clay Owens<\/b> (Southern Cal) to score<\/span> Austin Knight<\/b> (Tennessee).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick Neville <\/b>(South Carolina) knocked in his second and third RBIs of the year on a single. Neville sent home <\/span>Gabe Rivera<\/b> (Miami (FL)) and Owens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rivets scored one in the bottom half of the frame to trail by one. Wilhite singled into right field to bring home Michael Zavoli (U of Chicago).<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo clinched in the victory in the ninth by loading the bases before <\/span>Miko Rodriguez<\/b> (Texas A&M) was hit by a pitch for the second time this summer, sending Neville across the plate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bottom of the ninth, Josh Dudden (Creighton) grounded into a 4-6-3 double play with one out to end the ball game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pete Joseph<\/b> (2-0, Northwood) earned the win, throwing the final three innings for the Growlers. Joseph allowed two hits, one walk and struck out two in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adrian Santiago (0-2, Webster) threw the final inning for Rockford, allowing a hit, walk and the game losing hit-by-pitch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kalamazoo Growlers return to action tomorrow from Homer Stryker Field at 11:05 a.m. versus the Battle Creek Bombers. The two teams will also face off at night from C.O. Brown at 7:05 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n
