Kenosha, Wis. – The Kingfish (17-23) put up 6 runs in the 8th inning to take the lead, and complete a 9-4 victory against Kalamazoo at home. 

Kalamazoo opened the game up with 4 runs in the first inning, and things looked like they might get out of hand early. Kingfish starter Cole Erickson, however, had other ideas. He came back and gave up just one hit over the next 6 innings to keep the Growlers at bay. 

Erickson finished the night with 7 innings of work. He allowed 4 hits, 4 earned runs, and struck out 4 as well. Adam Dressler pitched one scoreless inning of relief. The inning gives Dresser 11.2 consecutive shutout innings of pitching. Ryan Orr came on for the 9th and set the Growlers down 1-2-3. 

Marty Bechina was the only Kingfish to get multiple hits, and went 2 for 5 with an RBI. Blake Reese, Micah Coffey, and Pete Schuler all picked up doubles on the night. 2 runs came home to score on Blake Reese’s double, which all but put the game away in the 8th

Tomorrow afternoon, the Kingfish will host the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at 4:05 CT. The Kingfish will finish that 2-game series Monday night, before playing in Madison on Tuesday night.
