Recap: Royal Oak 9, Kenosha 6<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday, May 30th 2025<\/span><\/p>\n

Royal Oak, MI<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> The Kenosha Kingfish did something they had yet to do in the early 2025 campaign: lose a game that they had a lead in. The fish had a 6-5 lead heading into Royal Oak\u2019s home half of the 8th, before surrendering a four spot and losing 9-6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again the pitching was great early in this one, however it was a game that saw action from the pen fairly early. After a scoreless first inning of work for Robbie Boykin that required just six pitches, the Kingfish turned to Matt Woodward, who gave them three innings of relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Royal Oak struck first in the bottom of the 2nd off Woodward on a run-scoring double-play groundout. That was the only scoring through the first four frames.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cal Rutherford got the start for Royal Oak and threw four scoreless innings of 1-hit baseball. With the exemption of Justin Morgan for Battle Creek, opposing starters have held Kenosha to one run over 19 innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the fifth though, this game would take a turn with scoring in seven of the next eight half innings. Kenosha tied the game 1-1 with an RBI walk from Brayden Bakes. That was followed with a three spot in the bottom half of the inning giving Royal Oak a 4-1 lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenosha would tie the game again after an RBI HBP by Robert Newland in the 6th and then a couple RBI singles in the 7th from Dayton Murphy and Aidan Thaxton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again Royal Oak would regain the lead after an unearned run scored on a Chase Van Ameyde RBI single made it 5-4 Royal Oak after 7.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kingfish tied the game in the top of the 8th after their second RBI HBP of the game, this time from Dayton Murphy. Then a Trent Abel RBI walk gave Kenosha a 6-5 lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That lead was short-lived. Four walks and a hit-by-pitch aided Royal Oak to a four-run bottom of the 8th, which gave the Leprechauns a 9-6 lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Royal Oak held on to win by that score and take game one of the two-game set. The Leprechauns improve to 4-1, while Kenosha falls to 2-3. The two teams match up again Saturday at 5:35 pm Central time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
