\n\tMadison, WI – July 31, 2014. After a doubleheader sweep of the La Crosse Loggers yesterday, the Madison Mallards look for their third win in two days, today against the Kenosha Kingfish at the “Duck Pond.” First pitch is slated for 7:05 pm. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the mound for the Mallards is A.J. Bogucki, a 6’3”, 200-pound righty out of the University of North Carolina. Bogucki has made quality starts as of late, pitching five or more innings in four of his last five games, holding a 2-2 record in that stretch. His last start, he pitched six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out five in a 4-1 loss to the Lakeshore Chinooks. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe is scheduled to face Kingfish starter J.D. Nielsen, a 6’6”, 205-pound southpaw from the University of Illinois. Nielsen is 3-2 with a 4.64 ERA in 13 appearances, and in his last start he went 3.2 innings, giving up three runs on four hits in a 5-3 win over the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLast night, Mallards catcher Austin Barr (Stanford) led the Mallards over the La Crosse Loggers by a score of 8-4 in the second game of their home-and-home doubleheader. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to a three run homer in the first inning, Barr had a two RBI double in the bottom of the sixth and finished 3-for-4 with five RBI and one run. He ended the day with nine RBI after hitting a grand slam in game one, and was named Northwoods League Player of the Night for his effort. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards scoring started in the first with Barr’s home run, and shortstop Tony Butler (Virginia) then singled in the fourth to drive in left fielder Logan Regnier (Central Michigan). Right fielder Connor Marabell (Jacksonville) followed later in the inning with a two RBI single to put the Mallards up 6-0.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Loggers put one on the board in the sixth, but Barr responded in the bottom of the frame with a two RBI double. The Loggers would add two in the ninth before reliever Tim Black (Central Michigan) retired the last batter to complete the doubleheader sweep. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMallards starter Rob McDonnell (Illinois) allowed one run on six hits while striking out three in six complete innings of work to get the win. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn game one, the Mallards beat the Loggers by a score of 13-1. Logan Regnier (Central Michigan) broke open the scoring in the second with a home run, and the Mallards offense followed with four more runs, three from first baseman’s Pete Alonso (Florida) blast later in the inning. They added two in the third, and Barr’s grand slam in the fourth inning brought the score to 11-0. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Loggers responded with a run of their own in the eighth, but in the ninth Alonso hit his second home run of the game to bring the score to 13-1. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMallards starter Devin Over (Connecticut) tossed five shutout innings in his first start, allowing two hits while striking out three in the win.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards are 8.5 games back of the first place Lakeshore Chinooks in the South Division second half standings, and overall they are 5.5 games back of the second place Kingfish.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the Mallards to make the playoffs, they must win the second half or finish second in the overall standings as long as Lakeshore holds their second half lead.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards wrap up their home stand tomorrow at the “Duck Pond” against the Kingfish. First pitch is slated for 7:05 pm.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTomorrow is the Charter Communications Two-Sided Star Wars Maynard Bobblehead Giveaway with a light side and dark side Maynard. Wisconsin Brewing Company will present a Ducktoberfest preview with polka music, and German themed food and games for all ages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
