The runs continued the trend of the Mallards scoring in the first frame, as they have plated runners in eight of their last 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>In the inning, Jordan Comadena led off with a walk and made it to third following consecutive outs at first. Evan LeBlanc later walked and stole second before Bobby Hubbard came through with a big two-RBI single through the right side.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides were silenced until the Mallards took the plate in the fifth. Comadena did not waste any time in getting into scoring position, as the third-year Mallard tripled to set up a Brandon Wikoff RBI sacrifice fly. <\/p>\n<p>With a 3-0 lead heading into the sixth, Daniel Webb went to work in the leadoff spot, singling and advancing to second on a wild pitch. Eric Nielsen moved him over with a SAC bunt, and Brian Smith (pictured) finished the job with an RBI.<\/p>\n<p>Despite McConnell letting up a run in the eighth, manager C.J. Thieleke allowed his starter to finish what he started. The Mallards added a pair of runs in the ninth to close out the series sweep over the first place Wisconsin Woodchucks, 6-1.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell (W, 3-2) went 9.0 innings, allowing eight hits and one run complementing his 10 strikeouts. <\/p>\n<p>Hubbard earned his second consecutive Offensive Player of the Night honor, as he finished the game batting 2-for-4 with four RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>\nMadison returns to the Duck Pond Sunday to host a two-game set against La Crosse in another crucial divisional series.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday is Luxury Bath Rubber Ducky Night (first 1,000 14 &#038; under).
