\n\tKENOSHA, WI – The La Crosse Loggers edged the Kenosha KingFish by a final score of 3-2 to complete a two-game sweep of Kenosha in front of 2,066 fans at Simmons Field.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tMason McCoy (Iowa) got the Loggers started right away when he singled on the first pitch of the game. After moving up on a wild pitch, he came around to score on a Will Savage (Columbia) RBI single. Two batters later, Savage tagged up and scored on a Brock Lundquist (Long Beach State) RBI sacrifice fly to give the Loggers a 2-0 lead.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tJason Scholl would get the KingFish on the board in the home half of the second inning when he hit a solo home run off of Loggers starter Mark Ecker (Texas A & M) to cut the Loggers lead to 2-1. But that would be all Kenosha would get off of Ecker, who was making his 2015 debut. The right-hander limited the KingFish to just that one run on three hits while striking out four over five innings of work to earn the victory.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Lumbermen would stretch their lead to 3-1 in the top of the fourth thanks to a single from Jordan Pearce (Nevada), followed by a Ronnie Gideon (Texas A & M) double and then a RBI sac fly from Denz'l Chapman (San Diego State).\n<\/p>\n
\n\tLiam Carter (Missouri) relieved Ecker and tossed a scoreless sixth and seventh inning to keep the score at 3-1 before turning it over to Jordan Jess (Minnesota) in the eighth. Kenosha would load the bases off of Jess via a hit by pitch, bloop single and a check swing infield single. With two outs, Kenosha batter Jack Sundberg then drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch to plate the KingFish second run and make it 3-2.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tLoggers skipper would summon closer Ty Provencher (Long Beach State) at that point and he got the final out of the eighth via a fly out to get out of the jam before pitching a perfect ninth to secure the victory and record his fifth save of the season.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWith the win, the Loggers third straight, they improve to 16-13 on the year and will now wrap up their currrent seven-game road trip by traveling to Wisconsin Rapids on Thursday for a 7:05 p.m. contest with the Rafters at Witter Field. Air time on the Loggers Radio Network is set for 6:30 p.m.\n<\/p>\n
