Kalamazoo, MI. — <\/span><\/i>In an entertaining back-and-forth affair, the Kalamazoo Growlers (29-26, 13-10) fell just short to the visiting Traverse City Pit Spitters (40-17, 18-3) at Homer Stryker Field Thursday evening. The Growlers have their four-game win streak snapped.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo struck first on a RBI single by <\/span>Jimmy Sullivan<\/b> (Virginia) in the opening frame to grab an early 1-0 advantage. Traverse City tallied a pair of runs in the third to take the lead with a RBI single from Hudson Byorick and RBI groundout by Adam Proctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Growlers tied the score at 2-2 in the fifth as <\/span>Joel Brewer <\/b>(South Carolina) drilled a sacrifice fly to right field. Traverse City answered with a sacrifice fly of its own in the ensuing frame to regain the lead at 3-2. In the seventh, Kalamazoo evened the score again at 3-3 on the second sacrifice fly by Brewer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pit Spitters broke through in the visiting half of the 10th inning as Christian Faust grounded a RBI single through the right side to put the visitors ahead 4-3. Traverse City relief pitcher Kevin Hahn earned the win, improving to 4-0. Growlers reliever <\/span>Pete Joseph <\/b>(Northwood Univ.) took the loss, falling to 2-1.<\/span><\/p>\n
