THE DUCK POND ? With the playoffs now less than one week away, the Mallards are trying to do two things at once: keep guys healthy and build some momentum. Right now, the Ducks are doing both very well.<\/p>\n

While resting some key guys, the Mallards were able to rattle off a 9-1 win in Mankato against the Moon Dogs and their ace, Will Krout. The Ducks pounded out 13 hits and were aided by 7 Moon Dogs errors as they won for the second straight night.<\/p>\n

?Tonight?s game was good for our confidence,? said Mallards manager Darrell Handelsman. ?We are playing pretty well now that we are headed down the stretch.?<\/p>\n

The Mallards have four games left on the regular season schedule before the playoffs begin on Sunday night at 5:05 in Wausau. Madison will host Game 2 of the Divisional Series on Monday, August 11 at 7:05pm.<\/p>\n

?We are looking forward to the playoffs, but we still have some big games left to win,? explained Handelsman.<\/p>\n

Skip is referring to the fact that Madison currently holds a one-game lead over St. Cloud for better overall record. This would come into play for home-field advantage if both teams would happen to make it to the Championship Series.<\/p>\n

Tonight is the penultimate regular season home game for the Ducks, and there are a bevy of promotions. Tonight is Famous Footwear Team Poster\/Baseball\/and Soft Cooler Night. Everyone through the gates tonight will receive a Mallards team poster. Plus, the first 1,000 fans will get a soft cooler, and the first 500 kids 14 and under will receive a Mallards green and gold baseball.<\/p>\n

Tonight is also a Charter Communications\/Little-A-Merrick-A Family Four Pack Night presented by Newsradio 1310 WIBA and ESPN-1070. You get four tickets, four hot dogs, four sodas, and two all-day passes to Little-A-Merrick-A for just $20.<\/p>\n

The gates open at 5:45 with the first pitch at 7:05.<\/p>\n
