Second baseman Mike Settle led the Mallards offense by going 2-4 with two runs scored and first baseman Jaime Martinez hit his first home run of the season.<br \/>\nThe bad luck continued on Saturday as the Mallards traveled to Rochester and lost the opening game of that two game series to the Honkers 4-2. The Mallards dug themselves a hole by going behind 4-0 and could never recover in losing their seventh contest in eight days. Madison Edwards led the attack by going 3-4 with an RBI and was on base four times. <br \/>\nMadison finally went back to their winning ways on Sunday night by defeating the Honkers 5-4 in an exciting game to even the series at one apiece. J.J. Jackson picked up the win in relief of starter Phillip Martinez to improve to 1-3 on the season. Jaime Martinez drove in two more runs, but the highlight of the night was the emergence of catcher Lucas Koenig, who went 2-3 and drove in the winning run with an RBI single in the eighth in just his second start of the season. <br \/>\nDespite going 1-2 on the trip and now possessing a record of 5-12 in the second half, the Mallards are still in playoff position, as they are currently only five games behind Waterloo, the leader in the Northwoods League Southern Division. <br \/>\nMadison continues their road trip on Tuesday as they travel to Mankato for a two game series. After a single game in Wausau on Thursday against the Wisconsin Woodchucks, the Mallards return home to play the Woodchucks on Friday night at Warner Park. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Madison Mallards had a bad start to the road trip on Friday and Saturday, but rebounded Sunday to win  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archived-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
