Kingfish starter PJ Schuster pitched six strong innings to earn the win in last night’s 7-1 victory over Wisconsin Rapids.  Alex Borglin and Mitch Gasbarro both had two RBIs on the night.  The win moved the Kingfish into sole possession of first place in the Northwoods League South Division and a half game up on Madison in the standings.
