WISCONSIN RAPIDS WI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Kalamazoo Growlers are headed to the Northwoods League World Series.
Wednesday night in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, the Growlers knocked off the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters to take the Great Lakes Division Championship.
It took extra innings to decide the Great Lakes Division champion.
It was Growlers’ first baseman Casen Taggart who provided the biggest hit of the Growlers’ season, and maybe the biggest in Growlers history.
Taggart blasted a two strike pitch over the right field fence in the top of the 10th inning to give Kalamazoo the 8-6 lead.
Growlers pitcher Tyler Johnson sealed the game in dominant fashion in the bottom of the 10th.
Now just one win remains between the Growlers and the first World Series win in franchise history.
Kalamazoo will travel to Duluth, Minnesota to face-off against the Duluth Huskies in the Northwoods
League World Series.
It is a winner-take-all game which will be played Thursday night at 7:35 pm EDT.
The game will be streamed live on ESPN Plus.
