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

Madison, WI \u2013 August 5, 2012. Despite a valiant comeback effort by the Madison Mallards (18-10, 34-29) in which they scored the final four runs of the game, Chinooks closer Tyler Sparger (Indian Hills CC) was able to come in and squeak out an 8-7 Lakeshore Chinooks (15-13, 32-31) win. With the victory the Chinooks took the opener of the five game series. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinooks started fast, putting up two runs in the first inning with a pair of RBI hits. Right fielder Forrest Chadwick (Southern Maine) put the first run on the board with a double that scored center fielder Charlie Markson (Notre Dame) from second. First baseman Ryan Krill (Michigan State) added the second run with a line drive single that brought Chadwick home.<\/p>\n

The Mallards answered back to tie the game in the bottom half of the inning with a two out, two run homer by first baseman Jeff Zimmerman (Northern Illinois).<\/p>\n

The Mallards scored again with a two out rally in the third inning when third baseman Nicholas Howard (Virginia) doubled home left fielder Derek Fisher (Virginia) to deliver a 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n

Chinooks catcher Connor Lynch (Georgia Tech) responded to tie the game in the fourth inning with an RBI double, scoring designated hitter Michael Jurgella (St. Cloud State) from third.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinooks retook the lead in the fifth inning with a two RBI double from third baseman Cody Yount (Virginia Commonwealth) off of Mallards starter Trevor Foss (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi) to make the score 5-3.<\/p>\n

Chadwick continued his big day at the plate in the sixth inning, breaking the game open with a three run homer to extend the Chinook\u2019s lead to five runs.<\/p>\n

The Mallards narrowed their deficit to four runs in the bottom half of the frame with a solo shot by Howard, his sixth of the season.<\/p>\n

In the seventh inning the Mallards continued to capitalize on two opportunities, scoring two runs on back-to-back RBI hits by Fisher and Howard to bring themselves back to being down two runs.<\/p>\n

Mallards right fielder Tyler Marincov (North Florida) brought the Mallards to within one run in the eighth inning with a towering solo shot off of Sparger (2-4).<\/p>\n

The comeback effort would fall short though; when Sparger got Howard to ground out to end the game and pick up his seventh save of the season.<\/p>\n

Foss (3-8) took his eighth loss of the season tonight, giving up five runs on six hits while striking out four.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chinook\u2019s starter Jason Hoppe (Minnesota State) earned the win, surrendering six runs on eight hits while striking out six through 6.2 innings.<\/p>\n

News and Notes:<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

With his two run homer in the first inning, Zimmerman set the new Mallards franchise record for RBIs in a single season with 49.<\/p>\n

Despite grounding out to the end the game, Howard finished a triple short of the cycle, going 4-for-5 with two singles, a double, and a home run.<\/p>\n

With the loss tonight and a 4-3 win by the Wisconsin Woodchucks (24-3, 41-21), the Mallards were officially eliminated from playoff contention.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s attendance was 6,728.<\/p>\n
