The Mallards broke the game open in the second, as John Hadley VI (Creighton University), Brayden Zilis (Illinois State University), and Davis Hamilton (University of Minnesota) delivered three consecutive RBI hits to build a 5-0 advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Woodchucks scored twice in the third, but Madison answered right back in the fourth when Jonah Weathers (University of Louisville) hit an RBI double to make it 6-2. The Mallards pulled even further away in the fifth, with RBI hits from Zilis and Hamilton highlighting a four-run inning that stretched the lead to 10-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A tornado warning halted play in the fifth inning, but the delay did little to slow Madison&#8217;s offense. Terek Verhage (University of St. Thomas) drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to make it 11-2, and the Mallards tacked on three more runs in the seventh to put the game out of reach on their way to a 15-4 win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hamilton and Lucas Schermer (UC Irvine) each recorded three hits, while six different Mallards finished with multi-hit performances as Madison&#8217;s offense produced runs throughout the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ckyler Tengler (Arkansas State University) turned in another strong outing, allowing just two runs over five innings to earn the win for Madison. Sam Nitzke (UT Tyler) was charged with the loss for Wausau.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards return to Warner Park on Tuesday for a seven-inning doubleheader against the Lakeshore Chinooks.
