That&#8217;s when it would get out of hand. Three pitchers, eight runs, one hit, two errors and seven walks. Suddenly, the Dock Spiders held a 13-4 lead, where the game would end one and a half innings later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle O&#8217;Hearn<\/strong> started for Kalamazoo, and didn&#8217;t have the strongest outing, but kept the Growlers in the game when he exited.\u00a0<strong>Bryce Brannon<\/strong> would find two innings of shutout ball and\u00a0<strong>Liam Golden<\/strong> made his season-debut with one inning of shutout ball, where seven Growler innings would allow five runs.<\/p>\n<p>On the offensive side,\u00a0<strong>Chase Thomas<\/strong> picked up two RBI in the first, while\u00a0<strong>Charlie<\/strong><strong> Wortham<\/strong> picked up a multi-hit night and an RBI.<\/p>\n<p>The eighth-inning set a poor Growler&#8217;s record, as Kalamazoo found their most walks allowed in a game this season. The team had allowed just 66 walks in the first 17 games, and the season total is now up to 79. However, Kalamazoo still holds on to the top of the Great Lakes East, clinging to a one game lead over Richmond.<\/p>\n<p>The Growlers play Traverse City Saturday night on &#8220;Swiftie Night &#8211; Wedding Edition,&#8221; with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1200\" title=\"DihSpiders\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders.jpeg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders.jpeg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-26006\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%271200%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20960%201200%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%271200%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders-200x250.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders-400x500.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders-800x1000.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/assets.northwoodsleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/DihSpiders.jpeg 960w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":26006,"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-26005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","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) -
