July 18, 2012 \u2013 <\/span>In a battle between the top two teams in the Northwoods League\u2019s South Division, a pitchers duel that featured Madison Mallards\u2019 starter Kurt Giller (Florida) and Wisconsin Woodchucks\u2019 starter Adam Kramer (Wake Forest) broke out at Athletic Park.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>The game was scoreless through three innings, but in the fourth, Giller allowed the leadoff man Brandon Hayden (Virginia Tech) to score off a Brad McKewon (Creighton) single, and that was all the Woodchucks needed to take the first game of the series. With the loss the Mallards fall to 9-4 in the second half, while the Woodchucks improve to 12-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Madison Mallards\u2019 starter Kurt Giller (Florida) pitched well in 4.1 innings of work but he was on the hook for the tough luck loss. Giller gave up 2 runs on three hits and struck out 6, matching his season high, but issued four walks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The fourth inning began when Giller walked the lead off Woodchucks hitter, Brandon Hayden, a Northwoods League All Star. McKewon advanced to second on a wild pitch, and was sent home by Woodchucks\u2019 left fielder Brad McKewon. With a full count, McKewon ripped the pitch to the gap in right center and made the score 1-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Giller returned for the fifth but after he allowed a single to Woodchucks catcher Nate Irving (Virginia) and issued a walk to Brooks Braga (La Crosse), also an All Star, Giller\u2019s night was finished, and it was Anthony Marzi (Connecticut) who was called to pitch in relief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">When Marzi made his appearance, so did the rain.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Marzi, a Northwoods League All Star, faced Woodchucks center fielder Eric Filia-Snyder (UCLA) and gave up an RBI single to make the game 2-0.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Just after the run scored, home plate umpire Zach Tieche delayed the game for lightening. The rain simply kept coming and after an hour and a half delay, the game was called. Because the game went the necessary five innings, no make up date is required, instead the 2-0 score stands as final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Wisconsin Woodchucks\u2019 starter Adam Kramer (1-0) worked efficiently throughout the game. In the first and fifth innings, he faced the minimum amount of batters.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>In his five full innings of work, Kramer\u2014a Wausau native\u2014gave up no runs on three hits. He struck out two and walked two more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">Up Next:<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Mallards return to the \u201cDuck Pond\u201d to finish their series with the Woodchucks on Thursday, July 19<sup>th<\/sup>.
