Kenosha, Wis. – The second game of the Kingfish and Loggers series started as a call and response game with both teams scoring in multiple innings. The game made it into the sixth inning, with the Kingfish leading 6-4. The game was sent into a weather delay and was later called a rain shortened complete game. The Kingfish win 6-4 in five innings, sweeping the La Crosse Loggers.

The second inning sang the same story, Loggers scored and Kingfish responded. This time it was thanks to a Zach Ratcliff RBI double. The Kingfish pulled ahead in the fourth 3-2 and added three more in the fifth for the 6-4 lead. The Kingfish were able to finish the fifth and enter the sixth inning.

Kingfish starter Steven Klimek found his footing after a tumultuous start. He ended the night with the win, striking out two and only allowing three runs.
