Madison, Wis. \u2013 After another thrilling walk-off win at Warner Park last night, the Madison Mallards (13-3) take on the Green Bay Bullfrogs (6-10) tonight at the Duck Pond at 7:05 PM. Tonight\u2019s game features Chris Clark, a professional stunt rider, presented by Schwinn. Also, the first 50 dating couples at the game will receive a prize package courtesy of The Diamond Center. Finally, the game also features Powerball Thursdays presented by Wisconsin Lottery. 50 fans in the Great Dane Duck Blind who are 18-and-over will receive a Powerball ticket. Make sure to arrive early as gates open at 5:30 PM.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the diamond, the Mallards have continued their incredible hot streak as they have now won 11 consecutive ballgames. After Tyler Plantier<\/strong>\u2019s(Richmond) walk-off single last night, Madison has now won back-to-back home games in walk-off fashion. The Mallards have played a number of competitive games during the win streak but clutch pitching and timely hitting has allowed Madison to continue rolling. Mallards hurlers have held opposing hitters to just a .201 batting average with runners on base this season.<\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/p>\n

Scheduled to start tonight for the Mallards is Illinois righty Sean Leland<\/strong>. Leland has made two strong starts this season, allowing only one earned run over 10.0 innings on seven hits while striking out 15. Leland has held opposing hitters to just a .184 clip at the dish. \u00a0He has been particularly lethal against righties this summer, allowing only five hits to right-handed hitting in 31 at bats.<\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/p>\n

As the Mallards bats have heated up during the team\u2019s hot streak, six different Mallards regulars now have batting averages over .300. Tyler Plantier <\/strong>paces the club with a .359 average and three home runs while Jake Randa <\/strong>(NW Florida State) holds team-highs with eight doubles and 14 RBI while batting .344.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mallards catcher Hunter Hisky <\/strong>(Southwest Baptist) has been on fire since his walk-off bomb on Sunday evening. Since the game-winning dinger, Hisky is 5-for-12 with two runs scored, three walks and a home run.<\/p>\n

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

Quoteables<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mallards outfielder Trevor Boone <\/strong>(Oklahoma State), who played his first game with Madison last night, spoke about the atmosphere at the Duck Pond\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard about it, we had a guy my freshman year who talked about it. He said the atmosphere was unreal, he pitched here. He was like you need to go there. And I got here and it\u2019s a Wednesday night and there\u2019s 6,400 people and I was blown away.\u201d<\/p>\n
