They extended the lead to 3-1 with an RBI single from Frederick for his second RBI on the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Woodchucks got one run back in the bottom of the 6th when Noah Fitzgerald once again came through with an RBI single.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Mallards starter Andrew Neu (UW-Milwaukee) had a solid debut with the team as he went 5.2 innings with two runs, neither of which were earned runs. He also had four strikeouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Out of the bullpen, Jack Anderson (Princeton) pitched 1.2 scoreless innings for the Mallards, but Christian Horner then came in and gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single from Robert Brooks. That sent the game to extra innings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">With the extra inning rule of the runner starting on second base, the Mallards went down in order in the top of the 10th. Terrell Hudson then came in to make his first Mallards appearance in the bottom of the inning and held the Woodchucks scoreless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">In the top of the 11th, the Mallards took the lead on an RBI groundout from Matt Scannell (Princeton). However, the Woodchucks came back in the bottom of the inning to score one and send it to the 12th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Fitzgerald laid down a sacrifice bunt to get the runner from second over to third, who then scored on a ground ball to Frederick at short.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Mallards came right back in the top of the 12th though, scoring a run on a sacrifice fly from JT Benson (Louisville). That put them up 5-4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">In the bottom of the 12, Eric Newman came in to pitch for the Mallards and pitched a scoreless inning, picking up the team&#8217;s first save of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Tyler Dean (St. Edwards) led the Mallards offensively with two hits on the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Next up for the Ducks is a game back at the Warner Park Duck Pond against Wisconsin Rapids.
