The Mallards took a critical final game of the regular season against La Crosse Sunday night, defeating the Loggers in an offensive showcase 10-7, carried by a terrific performance at the dish by 2nd baseman J.J. Gould. 

Gould sparked the Madison lineup tonight, going 4-for-5 with four RBIs, providing the difference in the ballgame and moving the Mallards into the second seed for the playoffs that starts tomorrow. The senior from Jacksonville has been one of the instrumental pieces in his team's offensive production, possessing a .246 batting average with 5 home runs and 30 RBIs, while recording a total of 49 hits.

Gould and the Mallards will host Green Bay at the Duck Pond tomorrow night, for a one-game elimination semifinal, which begins at 7:05 PM.
