John Hasser drove in seven runs and belted his first home run of the season as the Kenosha Kings swept a Wisconsin State League doubleheader from the Manitowoc Bandits, 5-1 and 10-5, Saturday at Bradford’s Wavro Field.

“Hasser was seeing the ball well,” Kings manager Tim Pulizzano said. “He’s one of my middle guys. He has to do that.”
