Game One:

By: Pat Mullen

The Bombers started the first game of the double header verse the Madison Mallards up 1-0 as it was postponed due to rain a few weeks back.

That did not slow down the Mallards, however, as they got two runs in the bottom of the first and never looked back, going on to win 5-3. 

Cade Stone (LSU) finally saw his bat perk up as he went 2-3 with 2 RBIs on the day.

On the mound getting a spot start was Joe Mockbee (MSU). Joe pitched very well, but caught a few bad breaks as balls dropped in that were softly hit.

In relief for the Spartan was a newcomer to the Bombers, Luke Heller (Cornerstone). Heller was just released by the Green Bay Bullfrogs and Battle Creek jumped at the opportunity to pick him up.

Just like Mockbee, Heller pitched very well, but did end up getting the loss for the first half of the double header on July 4th here in Madison.

Game Two:

By Nick Winstead

The Bombsquad had Dakota Mekkes (Michigan State) on the mound for game two against the Mallards. Like his Spartan counterpart, Joe Mockbee, Mekkes pitched well but could not catch a break as defensive plays were just a bit out of reach for the Bombers on a few occasions.

Mekkes would be chased from the game in the 4th after giving up 5 runs in the inning, making it a 7-1 lead for the Mallards.

New Bomber Hunter Jobe (Pfeiffer) came in and finished out the game–looking good in the process.

The Bombers bats could not manage to get going against the Mallards, managing just four hits throughout the course of the seven inning game.

The Bombers will try to avoid the sweep tomorrow, first pitch at the Duck Pond is at 5:35.
