\n\tThe Kalamazoo Growlers hit the road for the second time in franchise history to take on the Green Bay Bullfrogs in a South Division matchup on Wednesday, June 4 and Thursday, June 5. Both games will be played at 8:05 p.m. EST \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a five-game win streak, the Growlers (5-3) dropped both games against the Lakeshore Chinooks at home on Monday and Tuesday. The team saw a spike in offensive production during the win streak, averaging nine runs per game.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bats cooled off when the Chinooks (6-2) came into Kalamazoo. The Growlers only put up three runs during the final two games of the home stand, as the Chinooks pitching overpowered the Growlers bats.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Growlers finished the first homestand in franchise history with a 3-2 record, but nearly 5,000 fans came out to Homer Stryker Field for Opening Night, setting a Northwoods League record for the highest attendence for a new franchise on Opening Night.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Growlers look to get back to their winning ways against the Bullfrogs (5-3), who are currently tied with the Growlers and the Madison Mallards, the defending Northwoods League champions.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Bullfrogs come home after a four-game road trip against LaCrosse Loggers and Duluth Huskies, where they went 3-1 to bring the team back over the .500 mark. Matt Beaty (Belmont) currently leads the Bullfrogs with a .357 batting average over 28 at-bats. The senior is also tied for third in the Northwoods League with two home runs. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe strength of the Bullfrogs' pitching comes from their bullpen. In relief appearances this season, the Bullfrogs have allowed six earned runs over 29 2\/3 innings, good for a 2.02 ERA. Seven different pitchers have yet to allow an earned run this season, so the Growlers offense will have it cut out for them heading into Green Bay for Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGrowlers shortstop John Rubino (Eastern Michigan) is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak, picking up a hit in each game except the season opener. Ten different Growlers currently hold a batting average above .300 as well.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tStarting pitchers and lineups will be set prior to game time.\n<\/p>\n
