\n\tKALAMAZOO, MI –Two games, two Mallard home runs. Two games, two Growler losses.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tUnlike the close 3-2 loss to Madison yesterday, Kalamazoo was blown out 6-1 to fall to 14-46 and one loss closer to the worst record in Northwoods League History.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tStarter Alec Byrd (Florida State), for his second start in a row, got hit around. In his five innings of work, he gave up eight hits and five runs.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Growlers threatened in seventh when Alex Gosser (Arkansas) led off with a walk. The next batter, Bryce Adams (LSU) hit a double. Gosser, though, when he was rounding third, didn’t beat the ball to home plate and was thrown out.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJohn Ruiz (Miami), following Adams, hit a single to center field. Adams, like Gosser, didn’t beat the throw to home and the inning ended with no runs scoring.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe only Kalamazoo run came in the eighth inning of a sacrifice fly from John Soteropulos (Cal).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the Madison side of the game, the offense exploded. The Mallards (35-25, 15-10) out hit the Growlers 14-8.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLeading that offense was Jason Goldstein (Illinois). Goldstein went 4-4 with two singles, a double and a home run. His offensive performance resulted in four of the six Mallards’ runs.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKalamazoo now enters an off day and then plays two consecutive doubleheaders against the Battle Creek Bombers the following two days.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n
