Mallards starter Talan Holiday (University of North Carolina) allowed just one hit across five scoreless innings while striking out four.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chinooks starter Talan Kelly (Utah Tech University) was equally impressive, tossing six shutout innings. He surrendered just one hit and struck out five, keeping Madison&#8217;s offense quiet through the middle innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lakeshore threatened in the seventh inning when the first two batters reached base, but Aiden Arnett (Virginia Tech) preserved the scoreless tie with a diving catch in left field. Mallards reliever PJ Green (University of Missouri) then induced an inning-ending double play off the bat of Anthony Massa (UW-Platteville).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Chinooks mounted another threat in the eighth, putting two runners aboard with base hits. Green worked out of trouble again, picking a runner off second base before recording an inning-ending groundout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game&#8217;s lone run came in the bottom of the eighth. Aaron Holland (UW-Whitewater) launched a solo home run to left field, breaking the deadlock and giving the Mallards a 1-0 lead. The blast was Holland&#8217;s first Northwoods League home run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eli Hoyt (University of Louisville) took over in the ninth and slammed the door, striking out two in a scoreless inning to earn his league-leading fifth save of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Green picked up the win after delivering three scoreless innings out of the bullpen. Casey Robinson (Salt Lake Community College) was charged with the loss for Lakeshore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards and Chinooks will meet again Saturday night at Warner Park for Muskies Night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madison, WI \u2013 The Madison Mallards (14-9) rode dominant pitching and a late home run to a 1-0 victory over  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":27448,"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-27447","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) -
