KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) â The Kalamazoo Growlers offense plated nine runs on Tuesday night, but it came in a losing effort to the Lakeshore Chinooks, by a score of 13-9.
One nightmare inning was once again the Growlers downfall, much like Sundayâs defeat against Kokomo. This time, the top of the third inning is where everything headed south.
Leading into the third, things looked promising for Kalamazoo. Don Goodes reached base via a hit by pitch to lead off the first, coming around to score on a balk. In the second, Ian McCutcheon singled home Devin Burkes, before scoring himself on a passed ball. This gave the Growlers a 3-0 lead with a 35 pitch inning forcing Lakeshore starter Ben Cruikshank out of the game after two innings.

KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) â The Kalamazoo Growlers grinded out at-bats late, but that did not stop them from leaving 11 on base on Wednesday night, in a 3-1 to the Kenosha Kingfish.
Through the first series, there was not much pressure put on Growlers bats. Plentiful walks, provided by aggressiveness on the base paths, paved the way for Kalamazooâs 2-0 start. However, tonight, making the whole trip around the bases was easier said than done against the Kingfish pitching staff.
Starter Dante Guarascio went 5 strong innings of shutout baseball, totaling 7 strikeouts and 1 walk, very much a flipped script from what the Growlers saw in Battle Creek to open the season.
