Designated Hitter, Bobby Atkinson, collected 2 RBI in the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Martinez (Louisiana Tech University) started on the bump for the Kingfish. Martinez (1-0) went 5.0 strong innings, giving up only one earned run and striking out 3 batters. He also collected the win.<\/p>\n<p>Hank Weiss (0-1) was on the hook for the loss after going 5.0 innings and giving up 3 earned runs.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams were able to capitalize on the abundance of errors. There was a total of 7 defensive errors between the two clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite multiple threats from Kokomo, closer Tucker Shalley notched his 6th save of the year and closed the door on the Jackrabbit hitters. This was Kenosha&#8217;s first series sweep of the season.<\/p>\n<p>With first place Traverse City losing earlier in the evening to Wisconsin Rapids Rafters, Kenosha is now 3.0 games out of first place.<\/p>\n<p>The Kingfish will travel to Rockford to take on the Rivets for a game on Wednesday night before returning to Historic Simmons Field.
