Newland wouldn\u2019t stay on first for long as he immediately strode for second on the first wild pitch of Tristan Ellis\u2019 at-bat, eager to get his team in scoring position. Shortly after, Ellis snuck a perfectly placed bunt down the third base line for his first hit of the night, advancing Newland to third.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bottom of the order\u2019s success circled back to the top, starting with Dayton Murphy ready for his turn at the plate. The at-bat began with an immediate passed ball, welcoming Newland to charge home and tie the game at two apiece, bringing the bundled-up Kenosha crowd to its feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With an ecstatic atmosphere, the flexibility of no outs and Ellis now on second, it was anyone\u2019s game\u2014and two pitches later, Trent Ellis called it for the Kingfish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right as Jake Crew\u2019s fastball tipped off the glove of his catcher, Ellis was out of the gate. His initial goal? Reach third base. The outcome? Reaching third <em>and<\/em> home to win the game for Kenosha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While rounding third, it was easy for Ellis to notice Wausau had no pinpoint on where the ball had gone, allowing him to charge down the third base line and slide fingers-first over the plate with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It wasn\u2019t long until the second baseman was hounded by his teammates, the lights of Historic Simmons Field flashing erratically over them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kingfish now stand at 1-1 heading into their four-day away game stretch, aiming to maintain their high energy against the Battle Creek Battle Jacks tomorrow evening at 5:35 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kenosha Kingfish are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
