Kenosha, Wis. – The Kingfish took both games from the Kalamazoo Growlers in Tuesday’s doubleheader.  Kenosha won the first game 5-4 on a Zach Ratcliff walk off sacrifice fly in the tenth inning.  The Kingfish took the nightcap by a final of 10-2 to extend their winning streak to four straight games.

JR Holloway picked up the win after pitching a scoreless inning of relief.  Brendon Allen started and went five innings, striking out five along the way. 

In game two, it was an offensive firestorm for Kenosha (17-5).  The Kingfish used a six run inning in the second to grab a quick 6-0 lead.  Kenosha added four more in the fifth, including a Ratcliff two run home run.  The win helped the Kingfish keep their lead in the Northwoods League South Division by five games.
