Nate Novinska (University of Illinois) drove in Jack Bello (University of Minnesota) with a sacrifice fly to give the Mallards a 1-0 lead. Green Bay answered immediately in the bottom half, as Landon Schaefer (Kansas State University) tied the game with an RBI double before Daniel Harden (University of Houston) scored on a fielder&#8217;s choice to put the Rockers in front 2-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both starting pitchers settled in after the second. Skyler Lhamon (Bellarmine University) continued his strong season for Madison, allowing just two runs over five innings. Green Bay&#8217;s Skyler Sievert (UW-Whitewater) matched him, surrendering just one run across five innings to keep the Mallards&#8217; offense in check.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison mounted its best threat in the seventh, loading the bases with no outs. However, Rockers reliever Wesley Marien (Northwestern State University) escaped the jam by striking out three consecutive hitters. The Mallards put the tying run on base again in the ninth inning, but couldn&#8217;t find the clutch hit as Green Bay held on for the 2-1 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sievert earned the win for the Rockers, while Lhamon was charged with the loss. Cord Copley (Bossier Parish CC) picked up the save.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards conclude their two-game series with the Rockers on Wednesday night, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m. Madison returns to Warner Park on Thursday to open a series against the Rockford Rivets, with first pitch set for 6:35 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashwaubenon, WI \u2013 The Madison Mallards (34-25) dropped a tight game to the Green Bay Rockers (32-26) on Tuesday night.
