Madison, Wis. \u2013 The Madison Mallards (7-3) are back at the Duck Pond tonight looking to extend their win streak to six games as they take on the Battle Creek Bombers at 7:05 PM. Gates open at 5:30 PM and fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure one of the limited edition Chris Farley bobbleheads, presented by Dentistry for Madison: Dr. Jay Hazen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After winning last night in Wausau, Madison sits alone atop the South Division with a 7-3 record. The Mallards pitching staff has been lights-out, posting a 2.35 ERA and holding batters to a .245 average and allowing only 11 extra base hits this season. Six different Mallards hurlers have pitched at least 5.0 innings this season while allowing only a single earned run or less.<\/p>\n

Probable Pitchers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scheduled to start for the Mallards tonight is Illinois righty Sean Leland<\/strong>. Leland will be making his first start this summer after working 5.0 innings out of the bullpen last Saturday. Leland struck out eight of the 24 batters he faced and allowed zero earned runs and only three hits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Bombers are planning to send righty Amani Godfrey <\/strong>to the mound to face the Mallards. Godfrey has made one start this season, working 5.1 innings and allowing four runs on four hits against the Kalamazoo Growlers. As a team, the Bombers sport a 4.22 ERA this season.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Players to Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n

After all recording hits last night, Jake Randa <\/strong>(NW Florida State),Tyler Plantier <\/strong>(Richmond) and David Vinsky <\/strong>(Northwood) all extended their season-long hitting streaks. Plantier continues to pace Mallards regular starters with a .385 average while Randa and Vinksy are close behind with .375 and .300 clips respectively.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Madison centerfielder Jayse McLean <\/strong>(NDSU) recorded another RBI last night, pushing him to ten this season, tying Randa for the team lead.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mallards Transactions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, the Mallards welcome a pair of players to fill-out their 30-man roster as two-way player Carson Ragsdale <\/strong>(South Florida) and pitcher Alex Reyes <\/strong>(New Mexico State) both arrive in Madison today.<\/p>\n
