FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo, Mich. \u2013<\/strong> On Thursday, July 11, Kalamazoo Growlers right-handed pitcher Liam O’Brien was named the Northwoods League Pitcher of the Night.<\/p>\n

Across six innings, O’Brien struck out 10 batters, giving up just three hits and a pair of runs. The ten strikeouts tied a season-high while putting O’Brien in the top spot in the Northwoods League with 56 this year.<\/p>\n

Final Line: 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 10 K, 25 BF<\/p>\n

The 10-strikeout day is the fifth time this season a Growlers starter has struck out double digits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The nod marks the second time straight outing that O’Brien has won the award after the junior\u00a0struck out seven across five innings on July 5 against Kenosha.<\/p>\n

The Growlers have now won the Northwoods League Pitcher of the Night award six times this season and 13 times since the beginning\u00a0of 2023. Both mark as the most of any team in the Northwoods League.<\/p>\n
