Nats Split with Kenosha Kings
After successive rainouts on Thursday and Friday, the Nationals were back in action on Saturday versus the league leading Kenosha Kings at historic Simmons Field in Kenosha.
In game one, Jimmy Jungbauer allowed only two hits and one run in a 2-1 victory. Jungbauer struck out 3 and walked 2 while going the distance. Mike Merritt and Adam Karas drove in the only two runs with sacrifices. Brian Huntzinger led the team with 2 knocks, including a double.
The Nats had their chances in game two, as well, but failed to execute in a couple of sacrifice situations and dropped that tilt by a score of 3-1. Andrew Arenson threw five strong innings, allowing no earned runs on four hits while striking out 4.
Next up for the Nationals are the Racine Kiwanis on Tuesday night at Horlick Field in Racine. First pitch is set for 7:30pm.
