\n\t\"Photo<\/a>KALAMAZOO, MI – The final game before the All-Star break for the Kalamazoo Growlers showcased dominant starting pitching from Wisconsin Woodchuck starter Devin Skapura (Texas A&M Corpus Christi.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSkapura went the distance, completing a complete game shutout over Kalamazoo, 6-0.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Woodchuck (8-9, 20-32) starter, who surprisingly is not an All-Star, gave up only three hits to the Growlers and no walks over his nine innings. Upon all that, Skapura struck out nine and lowered his season earned run average to a Greinke-esque 1.60.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis shutout extends Skapura’s scoreless innings streak to 20.1.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tErrors, again, shot the Growlers in the foot as five of the six Woodchuck runs were unearned.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe inning that sealed the fate of the game came in the sixth.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Mason Fishback (Riverside City College) led off with a single, Taylor Kohlwey (UW-La Crosse) laid down a bunt. A error by third baseman Dylan Busby (Florida State) allowed both runners to be safe. Another error, on another bunt, created a bases loaded no-out situation.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo (6-15, 14-40) caught a break on the batter, though, as a grounder turned into a double play with the runners at home and first being thrown out.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA walk to the next batter, again, loaded the bases.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTy Black (Ohio), the next batter, hit a single with plated two runs. Following Black was Jared Oliva (Arizona), who hit a single scoring another run. The fourth, and final, run came off of a balk from reliever Josh Alberius (Arkansas).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo starting pitcher, Andrew Sheppard (Jackson College) pitched well, going 5 innings walking two and striking out five. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Growlers now enter the All-Star break and send their lone representative, Shane Bryant (Purdue), to Wisconsin Rapids where the games are being held. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
