After Monday&#8217;s win, the Kenosha Kingfish will rise up to third place.<\/p>\n<p>In Monday&#8217;s contest, all the runs the Kingfish would need came in the first two innings where they scored all of their runs. In the first, a two-RBI single by Jackson Brewer helped put the Kingfish on the board early. In the second, a leadoff walk by CJ Deckinga put a runner on for left fielder Cole Ide. On the third pitch of Ide&#8217;s at-bat, a two-run home run that traveled more than 400 feet helped stretch the Kingfish&#8217;s lead. After Ethan Moore followed Ide&#8217;s home run with a single of his own, a stolen base and a walk by JR Nelson put runners on the corners for newcomer Owen Nowak. It didn&#8217;t take long for Nowak to record his first Kingfish RBI, as a sacrifice fly brought Moore home to score.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound, Logan Borboa shined on Monday. Borboa earned his first win of the summer after pitching six innings, allowing one run on one hit while striking out six. Tsubasa Tomii earned his second save of the summer after shutting the door on an attempted rally by the Pit Spitters. Tomii pitched 1 1\/3 innings, allowing no runs on two hits.<\/p>\n<p>The Kingfish will look to secure the series sweep against the Pit Spitters Tuesday night and will host a doubleheader against the Madison Mallards on Wednesday. First pitches are scheduled for 6:35 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, followed by 11:05 a.m. CDT and 6:35 p.m. CDT on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>The Northwoods League is the proven leader in the development of elite college baseball players.
