While Ethan Merrell delivered a dominant effort on Saturday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Kokomo. Merrell tossed 1.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits, which was good enough to also set a new career-low in walks.
Even though Merrell couldn't lead Kokomo over Lapel, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sadly, Merrell's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Wildkats' nine-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Merrell and the Wildkats surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Saturday's match.
