From there, the Growlers offense found it&#8217;s groove.<\/p>\n<p>The second inning saw a two-out, two-run single from <strong>Hutson Chance<\/strong> and a two-out, two-run double from\u00a0<strong>Phillip Thigpen<\/strong> putting Kalamazoo up 5-2. The fourth inning saw the Growlers leave the yard for the first and second time this season, as <strong>Joshua Algarin<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Nate Webb<\/strong> each hit two-run homers. The seventh pushed across two more runs before the eighth inning watched five runs score on no hits and no Flying Mummies errors with seven free passes (four walks and three hit by pitches), to go along with four wild pitches doing the damage.<\/p>\n<p>While the offense thrived, so did\u00a0<strong>Bryce Brassfield<\/strong>. The righty was making his final start in a Growlers uniform and will be heading to the Fargo-Morehead Redhawks. Brassfield threw seven innings and didn&#8217;t allow a run after his two-run first inning. The St. Cloud State product struck out eight while not issuing a walk. Brassfield played for the Growlers for three seasons and earned the win in the 2024 Northwoods League Championship game.<\/p>\n<p>With the win, the Growlers have moved to 7-2 on the season, which marks the teams best start in franchise history. While doing so, the Growlers have stolen 31 bases in the last three games and have only been caught once. The pitching staff has also been particularly strong, as the team went 16.1 innings versus the Flying Mummies before allowing their first walk.<\/p>\n<p>Kalamazoo heads back home to face the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters Tuesday and Wednesday night. First pitch Tuesday is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RICHMOND, Ind. &#8212; The Kalamazoo Growlers (7-2) rode an offensive explosion to their third straight win, defeating the Richmond Flying  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,15,142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-recaps","category-team-news","category-update-ticker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Growler Offense Explodes, Romp Flying Mummies - Kalamazoo Growlers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/kalamazoo-growlers\/growler-offense-explodes-romp-flying-mummies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Growler Offense Explodes, Romp Flying Mummies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"RICHMOND, Ind. &#8212;
