\u00a0Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n

Eau Claire, WI \u2013 August 2, 2012. The Madison Mallards (17-8, 33-27) scored in four of the first five innings to lock down an 8-4 win over the Eau Claire Express (11-15, 22-38). With the victory the Mallards took the opener of the three game road series. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mallards center fielder John Welborn (Texas-San Antonio) picked up from his stellar game at the plate last night, scoring in the first inning on a groundout by left fielder Derek Fisher (Virginia).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Express responded in the bottom half of the frame with a run of their own, scoring shortstop Ty Forney (Texas-Permian Basin) on a sacrifice fly to center by designated hitter Josh Scheffert (Nebraska).<\/p>\n

In the second inning the Mallards retook the lead on a sacrifice fly by shortstop Greg Rhude (Madison College), allowing third baseman Nicholas Howard (Virginia) to tag up and score from third.<\/p>\n

Howard scored his second run of the game in the following inning when second baseman Mike Reuvekamp (California) singled him home to put the Mallards advantage at 3-1.<\/p>\n

The Mallards scored their fourth run of the game in the fifth inning, when a throwing error by Express catcher Will Fadness (UW-Milwaukee) allowed Reuvekamp to reach home after stealing third.<\/p>\n

Scheffert capitalized on a similar error by Mallards starter Kurt Giller (Oral Roberts) in the sixth inning to score from third and make the score 4-2.<\/p>\n

The Mallards put the nail in the Express\u2019 coffin in the eighth inning with a three run blast by Fisher to extend the Mallards advantage to five runs.<\/p>\n

A sacrifice fly by Mallards catcher Jacob Reese (Southern Illinois) allowed Reuvekamp to tag up and score from third and make the score 8-2.<\/p>\n

The Express rallied in the bottom of the ninth for two runs, scoring two runs on an RBI single by right fielder Jimmy Allen (Cal Poly) and a sacrifice fly to right by left fielder Ryan Shober (UI-Chicago).<\/p>\n

The comeback would fall short though when Mallards reliever Danny Sullivan (Madison College) got Fadness to groundout to end the game.<\/p>\n

Giller (3-1) earned his third win of the season, throwing one his sharpest outings as a Mallard. Through 6.1 innings the right-hander gave up two runs on five hits while striking out three.<\/p>\n

Express starter Devin Moore (Indiana State) picked up his third loss of the season, surrendering four runs on eight hits through 5.2 innings.<\/p>\n
