Thursday Roundup: Kings Get 30th Win
July 26, 2013
The Kenosha Kings got their 30th win of the season Thursday night, winning on a walk off single in extra innings over Sheboygan.
KENOSHA — Tyler Eickmeyer’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Kenosha Kings to a 4-3 victory over the Sheboygan A’s on Thursday night at Simmons Field.
It was the Wisconsin State League finale for the Kings, who finished in second place with a 16-8 record.
Paul Pulera led off the 10th with a single and stole second base. With one out, the A’s opted to intentionally walk Travis Vanderwall, but during the free pass a wild pitch allowed Pulera to scamper to third. After Vanderwall reached base, Sheboygan intentionally walked Derek Idstein to load the bases.
Eickmeyer, who came off the bench to pinch-run in the previous inning, lined the first pitch he saw into right center.
With the victory, the Kings improved to 30-13 overall. Kenosha manager Tim Pulizzano said the Kings have reached 30 wins in a season every year “since at least 2004.”
Brandon Jeffery (4-3) notched the victory after giving up two runs on four hits in 2 1/3 innings of relief.
Starter Jon Olson, making his fifth appearance of the season, allowed only two hits in seven scoreless innings. He walked two and struck out four.
Pulera went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and Vanderwall went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI to lead the Kenosha offense.
The Kings host Game 1 of the Langsdorf League championship series against an opponent to be determined 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Simmons Field.
