The Kettering Captains will venture away from home to challenge the Troy Colts at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Kettering was handed a heart-breaking two-run defeat in their last matchup, but they sure didn't let that happen against Holly on Saturday. The Captains blew past the Bronchos 12-3.
CHASE NANNINI was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits.
