Kenosha, WI – The Kingfish and the Bucks combined for 23 runs on 20 hits on Monday afternoon as Kenosha snapped a five-game losing streak to beat the Bucks 12-11 in the rubber match of the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Waterloo opened with offense in the top of the first inning. After Collin Brightwell worked a walk, then stole second, Zach Davis lasered a single to left to plate the run to put the Bucks in front, 1-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bottom of the first, Kenosha tied things up. JR Nelson led off the frame with a walk, then scored later in the inning on a sacrifice fly to even the score at 1-1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the top of the second, Waterloo jumped ahead. Jake Miller walked, then stole second and third and scored on a wild pitch to grab the lead back 2-1. A Davis RBI single made it 3-1. With runners on the corners and one out, Davis scored on a fielder’s choice to push the lead to 4-1. After a run crossed on a wild pitch, the lead grew to 5-1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bottom of the second, the Kingfish responded. A walk, a single, and a hit by pitch loaded the bases. Cole Ide scored on a sac fly to chip away at the lead, 5-2. A groundout plated another run to make it 5-3. A two out Noah Brandt RBI single that was stung to right brought home the run to cut the lead to one, 5-4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the top of the third, the Bucks scraped across one more with a Miller single that scored on a fielding error that gave Waterloo some breathing room 6-4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the top of the fourth, the Bucks pulled ahead. MJ Sweeney was hit by a pitch to lead off, then Caleb Parker followed with an infield single. Next up, Caleb Seibers poked a single to left to load the bases. One batter later, Kendric Sorgius reached on an error that allowed Sweeney and Parker to score to make it 7-4. Next up, Miller singled to plate Sorgius to make it 8-4. Finally, Dosztan-Campbell grounded out to bring in a run and extend the lead to 9-4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the last of the fourth, Keosha sent nine batters to the plate and scored four runs on an Ethan Sanchez single, JR Nelson double, Noah Brandt single, and a Brendan Fritch sac fly that chiseled the lead down to 9-8.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the fifth, the Kingfish tied the game. Sanchez doubled and Nelson singled him home to knot it up at nine apiece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the top of the sixth, the Bucks jumped ahead with three walks to load the bases, then a run scored on a wild pitch to whisk Waterloo up 10-9. Then, an RBI groundout from Dozstan-Campbell lugged the lead to 11-9.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bottom of the eighth, Kenosha snatched the lead and the game from the Bucks with a bases-clearing double from Brian Gould that put the Kingfish in the lead for good, 12-11, and split the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the loss, Waterloo goes to 5-3 on the season and 3-1 on the road trip. The next stop for the Bucks is La Crosse. First pitch in the series with the Loggers is set for 6:35 PM. Both starters are TBD.<\/span><\/p>\n
