The Rockers were able to even the season series at six apiece with a 5-3 win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the second consecutive night, the Mallards found themselves leading first. First baseman <\/span><b>Chad McCann <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(3-4, 2 RBI) drove home <\/span><b>Liam Moreno <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in the bottom of the first inning to kickoff the scoring against Rockers\u2019 All-Star starter <\/span><b>Dylan Carter <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(4.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 3 K). McCann\u2019s second run-batted-in came in the bottom of the 3rd to give the Mallards a 2-0 advantage a third of the way through the contest. Green Bay\u2019s scoring began in the top of the 5th against Ducks\u2019 starter <\/span><b>Tommy Ellisen <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(5.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 7 K). <\/span><b>Tristin Garcia <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sliced a single to left field which was misplayed by L. Moreno scored the Rockers first run of the ballgame. The game was then tied in the 6th when <\/span><b>Matt Scannell <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">bounced into a fielder\u2019s choice. Following the stretch, Madison would retake the lead playing good team baseball. <\/span><b>Miguel Larreal <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">placed down a bunt to put two runners in scoring position for the leadoff man, <\/span><b>J.J. Rollon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Rollon was able to hit a ball hard enough to score the run and take the lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The top of the 8th inning brought the most energy in the game. The Mallards\u2019 All-Star reliever <\/span><b>Steven Lacey <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recorded a strikeout to begin the frame but then hit UCLA\u2019s <\/span><b>Carson Yates <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on the helmet with the first pitch. After a slight pause, Lacey\u2019s next pitch was launched to left field for a two-run home run off the bat of nine-hole hitter <\/span><b>Chase Hudson <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to give the Rockers their first lead of the night. After Lacey recorded the second out and then allowed a single to Garcia, Mallards\u2019 skipper <\/span><b>Donnie Scott <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">went to the bullpen for <\/span><b>J.J. Baez<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The right hander walked the first two batters he faced to load the bases down one. The next batter, <\/span><b>Keniel De Leon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, hit a ground ball toward Larreal at shortstop. Larreal flipped to second base to <\/span><b>Jack Merrifield <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to record the third out of the inning but the runner was called safe, giving the Rockers a two-run edge. Scott emerged from the Mallards\u2019 dugout to argue the call with the third base umpire <\/span><b>Kyle Eastman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The conversation quickly got heated as the manager was quickly ejected from the game. The Crew Chief, <\/span><b>Conor McKenzie <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">got involved to protect his staff and in the meantime, Donnie made his way to third base to remove the bag and toss it aside. Shortly after, McKenzie motioned toward the Mallards\u2019 dugout that someone else had been tossed. <\/span><b>Gordon Cardenas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Mallards\u2019 first year pitching coach, was also tossed from the game in the process. Following the ejections, Madison was unable to claw back and as a result, dropped their fifth straight game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards home-and-home streak continues tomorrow by beginning a set with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at Witter Field in Wisconsin Rapids.
