The right-hander allowed just two hits while striking out two, lowering his season ERA to 2.03.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Woodchucks broke through in the bottom of the sixth. Lane Walton (Arkansas State University) delivered an RBI single to open the scoring before Max Soliz (University of Kansas) drew a bases-loaded walk to make it 2-0. Walton later crossed the plate on a passed ball, extending Wausau&#8217;s lead to 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau added to its advantage in the seventh when Peyton Firgens (McLennan Community College) lined a two-run single to make it 5-0. The Woodchucks put the game out of reach in the eighth, scoring four more runs, highlighted by Holden Groebl&#8217;s (Cowley County Community College) two-run home run to push the lead to 9-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards mounted a late rally in the ninth to avoid the shutout. Aiden Arnett (Virginia Tech) drove in Madison&#8217;s first run with an RBI single, Jonah Weathers (University of Louisville) scored on a double play, and Brock Lulewicz (McLennan Community College) added an RBI single. Madison brought three runs across, but the comeback ended there as Wausau secured the 9-3 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyson Potts (Central Michigan University) earned the win for the Woodchucks, while Logan Addison (Texas Tech University) was charged with the loss for Madison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards return to Warner Park on Sunday for the finale of the two-game series against the Woodchucks and the final game before the Northwoods League All-Star break.
