Holder struggled from the get go but stranded two runners on in just a one run first to give the Growlers offense the wood in a positive situation. Kalamazoo would strand two runners in scoring position, going down scoreless. A 32-pitch second inning would allow five Kingfish runs to score, before a 1-2-3 bottom of the second. Holder would fail to get an out in the second, as the first six Kenosha batters would reach before\u00a0<strong>Gage Vota<\/strong> would take the mound. Vota would limit the damage and pitch through the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>The offensive highlight for the Growlers would be a\u00a0<strong>Connor Shouse<\/strong> solo home run deep into left field in the seventh inning. Kalamazoo ended up out hitting Kenosha, 12 hits to 11, but left 11 guys on, and didn&#8217;t extract free passes like the Kingfish did.<\/p>\n<p>Kenosha took 16 total free passes, 13 walks and three hit batters. The offense also picked up 11 hits with just two grabbing extra bases.<\/p>\n<p>Kalamazoo and Kenosha will face off for the final time in the first half on Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m. The game will be available on Northwoods League+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KALAMAZOO, Mich. &#8212;
