KENOSHA, WI<\/b> – The Kenosha Kickers snap their 10-game skid with an 11-5 victory against the Kalamazoo Growlers.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the second straight night, the Growlers\u2019 offense started strong in the first inning. Brock Leitbeg ripped a double to left-center field to plate Blake Grimmer after his lead-off walk.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kickers immediately answered after Noah Lazuka led off the inning with a double. Justin Hausser would bring him home with a single to right.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the next inning, Robert Newland crushed a ball into the left field Fish Bowl Club to give Kenosha a 2-1 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Kalamazoo responded with Trey Wells\u2019 three-run homer to left. Another run would come across in the third with an RBI double by Antonio Perrotta, making it 5-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The back-and-forth action continued into the fourth inning as the Kickers launched three home runs off Kalamazoo starter Ben Reimers. Gavin Taylor began with a solo homer while Nate Mieszkowski and Christopher Schuchart each hit a two-run homer to left field, making it 7-5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenosha starter Cole Tolbert finished his outing strong by forcing an inning-ending double play in the sixth. He collected eight strikeouts on the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

The home run parade continued for the Kickers as Brandon Nigh\u2019s three-run shot to left provided some big insurance. Mieszkowski added another run with a groundout to second, scoring Newland from third.<\/span><\/p>\n

Connor Trepanier and Luke Lyman closed the game out of the bullpen with three combined strikeouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenosha concludes this weekend\u2019s homestand tomorrow against the Madison Mallards at 1:35 p.m. <\/span>Follow @Kenosha_Kingfish on X or watch the game on Northwoods League+ for updates.<\/p>\n
