Kane Wilson (Iowa Western Community College) hit an RBI single to give Fond du Lac a 1-0 advantage. Another run crossed the plate later in the frame on a wild pitch, extending the lead to 2-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After being silenced through the first four innings, the Mallards\u2019 offense woke up in the fifth. Griffin Rardin (Shelton State Community College) raced home on a wild pitch to trim the deficit to 2-1. Moments later, Preston Yaucher (Penn State University) lifted a sacrifice fly that plated two runs, highlighted by Marcelino Alonso (Indiana State University) aggressively scoring all the way from second base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison kept the pressure on in the sixth inning. Yaucher and Jack Gold (Pomona-Pitzer) each delivered RBI singles, as the Mallards exploded for four more runs in the frame to grab a commanding 7-2 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Madison bullpen was dominant in preserving the advantage. Reed Adler (Northeast Iowa Community College), Talan Holiday (University of North Carolina), and Eamonn Mulhern (St. Cloud State University) combined for five scoreless innings out of the bullpen, shutting down the Dock Spiders after the first inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adler earned the win in relief for the Mallards, while Billy Gregory (Grand Canyon University) was tagged with the loss for Fond du Lac.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards return home to Warner Park on Thursday for a rematch against the Dock Spiders, with first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fond du Lac, WI \u2013 The Madison Mallards (2-1) stormed back from an early deficit to defeat the Fond du  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":27301,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
