From then on, both team\u2019s pitching dominated with the Mallards pitchers only allowing 4 hits the entire game.<\/p>\n<p>Despite strong pitching performances from Terrell Hudson and Ryan O\u2019Hara, the Madison Mallards were unable to score any runs as they left 9 runners on base and lost 3-0 to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters.<\/p>\n<p>18-year-old Liam Moreno had his Northwoods League debut tonight playing third base for the Mallards. Moreno joins the Mallards just weeks after winning the WIAA Division 1 State Championship with Sun Prairie high school. Moreno had quite a start earning two hits in his first two Northwoods league at bats as well as making an all-star defensive play at third on the first ball hit his direction. Moreno finished the night 3 for 4 with three base hits.<\/p>\n<p>The Mallards travel to Green Bay tomorrow to face to Booyah for a two-game series.
