\n\tWisconsin Rapids, WI – July 9, 2014. The Madison Mallards (5-3, 23-18) look to rebound tonight in Wisconsin Rapids after falling to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (3-3, 15-26) yesterday by a score of 6-2.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMallards starter Christian Taugner (Brown) will toe the rubber against Rafters hurler Jeff Gogue (Cal. State- Dominguez Hills). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTaugner holds a 2.94 ERA in 36.2 innings of work this season, having struck out 21 opposing batters while walking just six. He has given up 12 runs on 36 hits, and in his last start he allowed two runs on six hits while striking out three in a 5-3 win over the Battle Creek Bombers.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGogue, a 5’9”, 215-pound lefty out of Anaheim, California is 0-2 on the year with a 5.62 ERA in 16 innings pitched. In his last start, he gave up seven runs on five hits, walking three while striking out two in 6.1 innings of work. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLast night, the Mallards were held to two runs on five hits, and Rafters starter Domenic Mazza (UC-Santa Barbara) allowed only one run on two hits in seven innings of work, walking three while striking out seven. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards scored their first run in the sixth inning after shortstop Trace Tam Sing (Washington State) doubled to drive in right fielder Connor Marabell (Jacksonville). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCatcher Matt Thaiss (Virginia) hit a solo shot to bring the Mallards deficit to four runs in the ninth, but Rafters reliever Nolan Blackwood (Memphis) closed out the Mallards after the home run, retiring three of the next four batters he faced. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMallards starter Tyler Buffett (Oklahoma State) allowed two runs on eight hits, going 4.1 innings while striking out four in the loss. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards stay in Wisconsin Rapids tomorrow to wrap up their five game road trip against the Rafters at 7:05 pm before returning to the “Duck Pond” on July 11th to begin a three game home series against the Rafters at 7:05 pm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFriday the 11th will feature a MIG Commercial Real Estate LEGO Building Giveaway. It is also Circus World Night with live circus entertainment and Remington Beard Night.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
