\n\tKALAMAZOO, MI – The Kalamazoo Growlers split their doubleheader against Rochester at Homer Stryker Field to earn their first win of the season in the first game, but also added a loss in the latter game. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo (1-5) showcased aggressive baserunning in the first game as they stole five bases in the first four innings, which helped set-up runners in scoring position throughout the entire contest.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe aggressive baserunning helped Kalamazoo get on the board first in the bottom of the second as Nick Yarnall (Pittsburgh) stole second after getting on base with a walk. The next batter, Max Schuman (Utah) slapped a base-hit to right field, which scored Yarnall.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter three innings of play, the Growlers led 2-0, but Rochester (3-1) would answer with several runs of its own in the fourth.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith runners on the corners and one out, Jayson Yano (Stevens Institute) would hit into a fielder’s choice, which would score Alex Schultz (Nebraska-Omaha) from third. The next batter, William Paschal (Georgia Gwinnet) would get hit by a pitch from Growlers’ starting pitcher Sean Isaac (Vanguard) to load the bases. Trey Kamachi (Arizona State) and Connor Schaefbauer (Minnesota) would follow that hit-by-pitch would back-to-back singles to take a Honkers’ 3-2 lead.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRochester’s lead would only last that half inning, though, as the Growlers would answer back with a run of their own in the bottom of fourth with Justin Fletcher (Northern Illinois) single.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe score would stay 3-3 until the bottom of the sixth. Rochester reliever, Ryan Boelter (St.Paul), pitched himself into a bases-loaded, one out jam. On the next three batters, Boelter pitched three balls past the catcher to give Kalamazoo a 6-3 lead.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the top of the seventh, Growlers’ closer Matt Frawley (Purdue) pitched a flawless 1-2-3 inning to give Kalamazoo its first win of the young season.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBoelter picked up the loss for Rochester with his three earned runs that gave Kalamazoo the 6-3 lead.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAaron Tadian (Kent State) got the win, and first win for Kalamazoo, in his one inning of work during the sixth.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second game did not go in the favor of Kalamazoo as the Growlers fell to the Honkers 11-2.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo held its own, leading 2-1 until the top of the fifth when the Honkers scored four runs to take a 5-2 lead. Rochester would tack on another run in the sixth to make the score 6-2.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo’s hope for a comeback was muted when costly errors by shortstop Charles Leblanc (Pittsburgh) helped the Honkers to a massive five run inning to secure a Rochester 11-2 victory. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCJ Santayo got the win for Rochester, pitching four innings and allowing two earned runs.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRyan May got the loss for the Growlers, allowing four earned runs in his 4.1 innings of work.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo hopes to rebound from an overall slow start to the 2015 season against Kenosha on Monday at 7:05 p.m. at Homer Stryker Field<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
