Mallards Fall Behind Early, Unable to Respond<\/b><\/p>\n

Madison dominated by Wisconsin Rapids at home<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Madison, WI \u2013 The Mallards struggled for a second consecutive night after winning the first two games of their five-game homestand on Saturday with an 11-0 loss to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Lakes West 1st Half Champion Rafters got off to an early start against the debut of <\/span>Joel Barker<\/b> on the bump. Wisconsin Rapids pelted the outfield grass with five consecutive hits to begin the game including two doubles. The Mallards were unable to respond to the 5-0 deficit with much offense throughout the ballgame as the Ducks were only able to muster two hits the whole game. <\/span>Josh Caron <\/b>punched a single to begin the bottom of the 2nd and <\/span>Liam Moreno <\/b>slashed a single to begin the 4th but both were stranded at second base. Wisconsin Rapids\u2019 offense added to their early lead with a <\/span>Ben Ross <\/b>home run to left field off Barker (4.0 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, BB, K). The right hander from Harding University was pulled from the game in the top of the 5th after the Rafters put their first two on base. <\/span>Adrian Montilva <\/b>entered the game and was able to strand the couple of baserunners left by Barker including an exciting double-pickle which snagged the second out of the inning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mallards would use three more pitchers in the game including two All-Stars. <\/span>Steven Lacey <\/b>and <\/span>Bryce Woody <\/b>both allowed home runs to Rafters\u2019 left fielder <\/span>McKinley Erves<\/b>. Erves put together a career day including the two homers, a double, and a single to go along with four runs batted in. Wisconsin Rapids\u2019 offense put together a strong rebound following their first blowout loss of the season yesterday against Wausau. Montilva and <\/span>J.J. Baez <\/b>accounted for the only scoreless frames tossed by a Mallards pitcher. The Rafters used five pitchers including a strong start from <\/span>Nick Torres<\/b> who tossed three shutout innings. Ross put together another three-hit game in the Rafters\u2019 dominant win. The Rafters have won all five games played against the Mallards this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mallards finish the two-game series with Wisconsin Rapids tomorrow from Warner Park before the three-game pause for the All-Star Game. Game action can be found under the \u2018Live Action\u2019 tab on the Northwoods League website at 12:45 PM for pregame show coverage and a 1:05 PM first pitch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
