In a game between the Lakeview Rougarou and the Brooklyn Kraken at American Family Field on May 3, 2023, the Kraken secured a 7-5 victory over the Rougarou.

The Rougarou got off to a strong start in the 1st inning with a two-run homer by catcher Blake Sabol, scoring Marcus Semien. They continued to build their lead in the 2nd inning when Josh Jung hit a two-run homer to center, extending their lead to 4-0. However, the Kraken quickly responded in the bottom of the 2nd with a two-run homer by Jonah Heim, narrowing the gap to 4-2.

The Kraken took control in the 4th inning, scoring five runs, including a two-RBI double by Heim and a two-RBI double by Alec Thomas. This big inning gave the Kraken a 7-4 lead.

The Rougarou's Jung hit another homer in the 7th inning to cut the deficit to 7-5, but the Kraken bullpen was effective, maintaining the lead for the remainder of the game. Key performances from Heim and Thomas, as well as solid pitching by Perez, helped the Kraken secure the win.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Hammers @ Robots
Roxbury falls behind early, giving up two in the first.  The Robots fight back in the middle innings and eventually move out to a 6-2 lead.  The top of the eighth leads to much nail biting in the home dugout as Hawaiian rallies back.  After a triple and single to open the inning plates one run, the Hammers load the bases with two outs and the dangerous Paul Goldschmidt coming up.  Goldschmidt delivers a two run single, but an ill advised baserunning attempt gets Garrett Hampson thrown out at home for the third out.  The Robots tack on an insurance run the ninth for the 7-5 victory.

Rattlers @ ACL's
Windy City breaks out of an offensive slump with a 9-1 breeze in Ankeny.  Four homers, two by first baseman DJ LeMahieu, propel the offense.  Hunter Greene is a little shaky on the mound for Windy City, only making it one out into the fifth, but long man Michael Tonkin pitches four, one hit shutout innings to seal the win.

Sea Wolves @ Madmen
Santa Ana stakes Kyle Bradish to a 5-1 lead, but the Wolves hurler is unable to hold it, giving up four runs in the sixth to drop the team into a tie game.  The offense bails Bradish out though, scoring seven in the top of the seventh to give the visitors all the cushion they need in their eventual 12-5 win.  Nolan Jones homers twice, including a grand slam in the seventh.
