In the second, Miles Vandenheuvel (Ohio State University) launched a two-run homer to double the advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fond du Lac broke the game open in the third. Already leading 6-0, Meyer returned to the plate and crushed a grand slam to give the Dock Spiders a commanding 10-0 lead. Meyer finished a dominant night 4-for-5 with the grand slam, two doubles, and eight runs batted in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards began to chip away in the fourth inning. With two runs already across, Preston Yaucher (Penn State University) lined a two-run single to cut the deficit to six. In the fifth, Aiden Arnett (Virginia Tech) drove a three-run home run the opposite way to trim the lead to 10-7. It was his first homer of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The comeback effort stalled there, as the Dock Spiders answered with four runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth to regain control. Jeremy Martinez (Indiana State University) added an RBI single in the ninth for his first hit as a Mallard, but Fond du Lac closed out a 16-8 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luke Ulrich (University of San Diego) earned the win for the Dock Spiders, his second of the season. Max Brunngraber (Pomona-Pitzer) was charged with the loss for the Mallards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards hit the road for a two-game series against the Green Bay Rockers in Ashwaubenon, with first pitch on Friday scheduled for 6:35 p.m. The team returns home to Warner Park on Monday to face the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at 6:05 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madison, WI \u2013 The Madison Mallards (2-2) fell short in a high-scoring battle Thursday against the Fond du Lac Dock  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":27360,"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-27359","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) -
