The six-foot-seven left-hander was credited with his first loss of the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tClayton Whelchel (Arkansas-Fort Smith) and Austin Rodesky came on in relief for Wolfram, combining to allow one run (unearned) off two hits with two strikeouts over three innings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFour Growlers recorded multi-hit games in the loss. Brady Cherry (Ohio State) recorded his first multi-hit game as a Growler, going 2-for-3 with a run scored and a walk. The other three Growlers to with two hits apiece were Dan Robinson (Central Michigan), Jordan Verdon (San Diego State) and Matt Lloyd (Iowa Western).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor the Mallards, it was Zach Jarrett (North Carolina-Charlotte) with what ended up being the game-winning solo homerun over the left field wall in the fourth inning off Wolfram. Madison would add one more insurance run in the seventh to extend their lead to two runs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMitchell Kilkenny (Texas A&amp;M) was credited with the win after tossing five shutout innings, scattering six hits and striking out four. Troy Bacon (Santa Fe College) came on for the Mallards in the top of the ninth to earn his third save of the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNico Hoerner (Stanford) went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk to lead the Mallards offense that scored two unearned runs against Kalamazoo.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Growlers (13-11) head back to Kalamazoo to take on the Green Bay Bullfrogs for the fifth and sixth times this season. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. at Homer Stryker Field on Thursday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Kalamazoo Growlers are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
