AKRON, OH - Nick Kingham got the start for Altoona on Friday night in the third game of Eastern League Western Division Series against Akron, and things didn't quite go as planned for the right-handed pitcher. Kingham ended up being lifted in the third inning after allowing four runs, fours hits, and four walks.
The hits were only singles - three in the second to score two runs and one in the third to bring home another two - but things just didn't seem right from the get-go when he took the mound. None of his pitches were really finding the zone consistently, especially his fastball which never really got going.
