Announcement
The West Allis Nationals exercised a patient approach on Saturday against the Kenosha Merchants of the Land O Lakes League. 15 Nationals reached base via base on balls and the team cruised to a 14 - 3 victory.
When the locals did see pitches to hit, they were quick to capitalize. 6 of the Nationals 9 hits were for extra bases. Erik Martwick and Ben Kuhlmann led the way with 2 doubles each.
Alex Kingsley started the game on the bump. He held the Merchants scoreless for three innings before giving way to Curt Pryal. Pryal pitched the middle two innings, allowing one run, before Jimmy Jungbauer came in to close out the game.
Next up for the Nationals are the three time defending champion Kenosha Kings. The Nats will make their second trip of the week to Kenosha to face the Kings at historic Simmons Field on Thursday night at 7:30pm. Tickets are still available.
