La Crosse, WI \u2013 June 28, 2012. The Madison Mallards (12-17) hit the road tonight to start a three game series with the South Division leading La Crosse Loggers (21-7). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday the Mallards dropped the rubber match of their series with the Wisconsin Woodchucks (14-14) 11-8. The game was not played well on either side as both teams combined for 17 walks and eight errors.<\/p>\n

Mallards catcher Taylor Gushue (Florida) powered the offense with his first home run as a Mallard, a three run towering shot to left field in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

Looking to get the Mallards in the win column today is left-hander Anthony Marzi (Connecticut). Marzi (2-0) was impressive in his last start, allowing no runs in 6.0 innings of work to set up the Mallards for a 5-0 win over the Lakeshroe Chinooks (13-15). So far this season, Marzi has been the Mallards most consistent starter, carrying a 2.11 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP.<\/p>\n

Lefty Jake Stassi (Long Beach State) will take the ball for the Loggers. In his second season with the Loggers, Stassi (1-0) has been a difference maker in the Loggers rotation. In his last time out, Stassi shutout the Battle Creek Bombers (12-16) through 6.0 innings on the mound to earn his first win of the season. After three starts, the lefty carries a 1.62 ERA and 12 strikeouts.<\/p>\n

By winning two games or sweeping the series, the Mallards have a chance to spoil the Loggers run at the first half division title. With seven games left in the first half and a three game lead over the Green Bay Bullfrogs, the Loggers will have to close out strong to clinch a playoff berth.<\/p>\n

The Mallards return to the \u201cDuck Pond\u201d on Friday, June 29th<\/sup>, to play the second game of their series with the Loggers. That night will feature \u201cDuck Pond\u201d LEGO kits presented by briXwerX studios and in-game entertainment by Inflatamaniacs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
