Jonah Weathers (University of Louisville) opened the scoring with a two-run triple in the top of the first inning. He later scored on a Lane Arroyos (Western Kentucky University) sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dom Jacoby (University of Louisville) hit an RBI single in the second inning to make it 4-0 Madison.

Madison scored four total runs in the inning to take a 13-1 lead and went on to win by that score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heeryun Han (Texas Tech University) picked up the win on the mound for the Mallards, his first of the season. Mason Walker (Sauk Valley Community College) was charged with the loss for the Express.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards will head to Wausau on Thursday night to face the Woodchucks at 6:05 p.m. Madison will return home on Friday for Mavericks Night against the Woodchucks, with first pitch at Warner Park scheduled for 6:05 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eau Claire, WI \u2013 The Madison Mallards (5-5) got back in the win column on Wednesday night in dominant fashion,  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":27385,"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-27384","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) -
