Recap: Kalamazoo 11, Kenosha 3<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, June 7th 2025<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo, MI \u2013 <\/b>After a perfect four innings from Jacob Vokal in his Kingfish debut, the bullpen collapsed late as Kalamazoo cruised to an 11-3 win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenosha struck first, jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning due to an RBI-single from Kyle Alivo. The single extended Alivo\u2019s on-base streak to 8.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jacob Vokal was lights out on the mound for the fish. He saw 12 Grizzlies and sat them all down, two coming by way of the K.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once Vokal came out though, the script flipped. Kalamazoo tied the game in the 5th on an RBI-single from Jayce Lee off reliever Matthew Woodward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The game bounced back and forth in the middle innings with the fish retaking the lead on a Ryan Bakes solo homer, his second of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo responded with two runs in the bottom half of the 6th on an RBI from Micah Rienstra-Kiracofe and then a JD Crisp Sac-Fly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenosha would tie it up once again though in the top of the 7th. It came on an RBI-single from Dayton Murphy, which extended his RBI streak to 8 straight games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalamazoo would put up a five spot in the 7th to permanently take the lead. All four Kenosha relievers, Woodward, Brandon Newland, Connor Trepanier, and Sam McArthur allowed at least two runs. It broke up a streak of 10.1 scoreless innings from the bullpen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The Growlers would add three more in the 8th for good measure. They took the opener 11-3 and improved to 7-5 on the season. Kenosha dropped to 6-7. The Kingfish have now lost six of seven series openers this year. The two will square off again Sunday in game two of the four-game set Saturday at 12:35 pm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
