Green Bay shutout for first time in 2025
MADISON, Wis. – The Green Bay Rockers (14-11) fell in the first game of a four-game series with the Madison Mallards (17-8) tonight by a score of 1-0.
It was a true pitcher’s duel at the Duck Pond as the Rockers were no-hit in nine innings of work by Mallards starting pitcher Isaac Milburn. Milburn allowed just two walks and had a perfect game working into the sixth inning before Cooper Smith drew a walk.
Maddox Long pitched a gem of his own with seven innings pitched, allowing just one run in the third inning. He induced a ground ball with runners at the corners and one out, but the Rockers defense could not convert the double play, allowing Jordy Lopez to score for the Mallards. Long racked up six strikeouts and issued no walks in his outing. Tomas Lopez entered the game in the eighth and produced a 1-2-3 inning to keep it a 1-0 game. The Rockers were not able to add any more offense in the ninth en route to the 1-0 loss.
Green Bay will return to Madison to conclude the road trip tomorrow with first pitch slated for 4:05pm. The two teams will finish the series with two games in Green Bay on Monday and Tuesday. Both games at Capital Credit Union Park are slated for 6:35pm.
