Alonso stayed hot in the fourth, lining an RBI single to double the advantage to 2-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the mound, Ckyler Tengler (Arkansas State University) continued his dominant summer, retiring all 12 batters he faced across four perfect innings. Wausau finally broke through against the Madison bullpen in the fifth, scoring three runs to take its first lead of the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison responded immediately in the sixth. Making his season debut, Davis Hamilton (University of Minnesota) crushed a solo home run to even the score at 3-3. But the tie was short-lived, as Ryan Chase (University of Kansas) answered with an RBI single in the bottom half of the inning to put the Woodchucks back in front, 4-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau broke the game open in the eighth, erupting for eight runs to build a commanding lead. The Mallards mounted a late rally with four runs in the ninth, but the comeback fell short as the Woodchucks secured a 12-7 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Logan Waldschmidt (University of New Orleans) earned the win in relief for Wausau, while Eamonn Mulhern (St. Cloud State University) took the loss for Madison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards conclude their six-game road trip on Wednesday night with the series finale against the Woodchucks.
