Outstanding pitching by the Mallards guided the team to their 41st win of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards offense was explosive early in the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the bottom of the second, Madison fed off the Bombers struggling defense.\u00a0 Timo Schau (Southern Wesleyan) and Jordan Stephens (Miami-Ohio) contributed RBI singles, followed by a two RBI single from EJ Ranel (Lenoir-Rhyne), to give Madison a huge jump. Two errors on the Bombers infield and a sacrifice fly by JT Mabry (Middle Tennessee State), finished out the inning with a 7-0 lead for Madison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a silent third inning, the Mallards extended their lead by two in the fourth. Nick Gile (Madison College) knocked a two RBI single to put the Mallards on top 9-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through the fifth, the Mallards bats remained lively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the bottom of the fifth, Justice Bigbie (Western Carolina) ripped a sacrifice fly out to right field to put the Mallards ahead by double-digits. Gile for the second time, hammered a two RBI double to extend the lead 12-0. Every Mallard in the lineup safely reached base by the bottom of the fifth inning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chase Gockel (Parkland College) came in for relief to start the sixth inning and had a stellar outing. Gockel pitched through two innings and retired all six batters he faced, earning five strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards bats held no mercy, adding another run during the bottom of the eighth. Bigbie added another RBI single to his resume and drove the Mallards up 13-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Battle Creek was unable to make their way onto the scoreboard during the game. Madison claimed the 13-0 victory in their last meeting with the Bombers for the regular season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The winning pitcher is Daniel Bagwell (Queens University of Charlotte), after he pitched through five innings. This is his first win of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The losing pitcher is Trevor Smisek (Saint Leo), after he gave up seven runs in the bottom of the second.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top Mallards<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gockel pitched two innings, retiring every batter faced and earned five strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gile contributed two RBI singles twice during the game, driving in four runs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matt Morgan (UW-Stevens Point) entered the game during the ninth and retired three in order.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turning Point<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards had a hefty lead going into the sixth, but Chase Gockel prevented the Bombers from making a dent in the score during his outing. A strong offense, lead by a powerful arm, propelled the Mallards to victory\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Up Next<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards are on the road to compete against the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (43-24) for the last time during the regular season.
