The Mallards enter tonight?s Quench Gum home opener with retribution in mind as they take on the defending Northwoods League Champions, Thunder Bay. The Border Cats defeated Madison two-games-to-one in last season?s NWL Championship Series to deny the Mallards their second straight NWL title.<\/p>\n

Trying to put the stop on the Cats tonight will be Casey Baron. Baron is one of only three returning pitchers from the 2005 staff that set a NWL single season record for team ERA (2.31). He?ll be challenged tonight, however, facing a Border Cat?s roster with only three left-handed position players. Last summer, Baron went 4-3 with a 2.97 ERA in 10 starts. He struck out 40 while walking only nine.<\/p>\n

Offensively, the team will be led by fourth year Mallard Mike Rohde and a large group that put up fine numbers at their respective colleges. Rohde hit .312 in 65 games last summer with the Mallards and was a mid-season all-star.<\/p>\n

Tonight is Quench Gum Opening Night presented by WKOW. The first 1,000 fans will receive a T-shirt and all fans will receive a UW Asthma, Allergy and Pulmonary Research Poster Schedule. It?s also the first Budweiser Pint Glass Series Night at the Duck Pond. The first 1,000 fans, 21 and over, will receive a limited edition Budweiser collectors glass. It will be the first in a group of five collectors glasses this summer at the Duck Pond.<\/p>\n

The Mallards have released the starters for the first three games of the 2006 season. After Baron pitches tonight, Manager C.J. Thieleke will turn to right-handed-pitcher Kitt Kopach on Friday night and lefty Marc Lewis on Saturday.<\/p>\n
