Madison, WI – The Kenosha Kingfish dropped game two against the Madison Mallards 18-4 at Warner Park. The 14-run deficit was the largest so far this year for the boys in baby blue.

With the defeat, Kenosha falls below .500 on the road with a 2-3 record.
Madison remains a perfect 3-0 on home grass after their victory.
Last night’s walk-off hero, Lance Trippel (Florida St.), continued his offensive tear as the only Kingfish batter to register multiple hits. Trippel went 2-for-3 with a solo shot to left field in the sixth frame to make it back-to-back jacks with Reagan Burford (Ole Miss).
Ryan Sprock (Elon University) had a perfect night at the plate in his Mallards Debut. Sprock went 4-for-4 at the plate with a team-high five RBI, three runs scored and two walks.
State College of Florida-Saratosa’s very own Cameron Clines (1-1) got the win on the bump after relinquishing four runs on two hits in a pair of innings.

Louisiana Tech. University hurler Alec Sparks (0-1) took the loss in his first game in a Kenosha uniform. Sparks recorded one out while allowing four earned runs on one hit and five walks.
