In doing so, they send NWL All-Star Rico Garcia to the hill. The 7:05pm start time will also see the team celebrate Duffy Dyer Bobblehead Night at historic Simmons Field.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\tGarcia has established himself as one of the elite pitchers in summer collegiate baseball. In the NWL&rsquo;s showcase on Tuesday, the right-hander yielded no hits and notched a strikeout in his only inning of work. Garcia currently finds himself ranked eighth in the league in ERA at a stellar 2.45. Moreover, he has allowed opponents to hit just .208 on the year, the fourth best mark in the NWL. The junior to-be at Hawaii-Pacific has drawn success from his ability to paint corners and get ahead in the count early. He will look to hold down a Wisconsin Rapids offense that ranks in the league&rsquo;s bottom half in runs, hits, and home runs.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\tDespite seeing reliable output from the pitching staff, Kenosha&rsquo;s current hot streak would not be possible without its performance at the plate. In the last three games combined, King Elvis&rsquo; crew has smashed seven home runs and 44 hits on its way to 41 total runs. The key in each contest has been a big inning, as they have posted at least six runs in a frame during each game. The recent outburst has propelled the Kingfish the league lead in runs per game. Credit is due throughout the entire lineup for the NWL&rsquo;s top offense, but a handful of performers have stood out above the rest. 2B Chris Godinez has notched seven hits in his three last games, belting two home runs and scoring a staggering nine times in the process. Outfielders Pat Porter and Buddy Reed have also been doing their part, recording six RBI each during the stretch. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\tIn addition to what promises to be an entertaining ballgame, Thursday also brings the aforementioned Duffy Dyer Bobblehead Night. Dyer, the current Kenosha Kingfish manager, was a mainstay behind the plate for 14 years in the MLB. Having played for the Mets, Pirates, Tigers, and Expos over the course of his career, Dyer&rsquo;s career highlights include catching a no-hitter from Pirate starter John Candelaria in 1976 and winning the 1969 World Series with the Mets.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\tFollowing his playing career Dyer was named the Cubs&rsquo; bullpen coach in 1983 before becoming the first manager of the Kenosha Twins, a single-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. He led the squad to a 1985 Midwest League Championship prior to becoming the Third Base Coach for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1989. After a six year stint with the Brew Crew, Dyer traveled west to serve as the Oakland A&rsquo;s Bench Coach under Art Howe for three seasons. He later served as a catching coordinator for Padres. The Kingfish honor Duffy Dyer&rsquo;s success and commitment to Kenosha baseball with a bobblehead for fans, though a limited quantity is available.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenosha, Wis. &#8211;&nbsp;Following the NWL All-Star break, the Kenosha Kingfish look to win their third straight contest as they host  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":2860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
