Kenosha, Wis. – The Kenosha Kingfish will try to make it four straight wins tonight when they take on the Battle Creek Bombers at 3:05 at Simmons Field in the first game of a doubleheader.  The second game on the day will start thirty minutes after the first game finishes.  

The Kingfish moved to 3-1 on the season after Friday night’s 10-8 victory over the Lakeshore Chinooks.  Anthony Olson collected the win for the Kingfish and Trevor Haas came in and nailed down the save. Nick Sergakis and Hunter Alexander each hit home runs and drove in three runs a piece. 

Manager Duffy Dyer will hand the ball to Maustin Otterstatter tonight in the first game.  The righty has not pitched since Opening Night, when he threw one inning of relief.  Otterstatter hails from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and attends Washburn University.  The sophomore will try to continue the success of Kingfish starting pitchers this season. Kingfish starters are 3-1 on the year.     

Paul Schuster starts in game two for the Kingfish.  Schuster started Opening Night, pitching five innings and striking out five batters.  The right-handed pitcher will look to earn his first victory on the season and close out the weekend home stand with a victory. 

There will be a FLOW Parkour appearance during the game today and a Petting Zoo sponsored by Jerry Smith Pumpkin Farm will also be at Simmons Field.
