\n\tMadison, WI – August 6, 2014. The Madison Mallards (18-17, 36-32) completed a sweep of the Alexandria Blue Anchors (11-23, 20-48) tonight at the “Duck Pond,” winning by a score of 6-4. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMallards starter Sterling Sharp (Eastern Michigan) tossed five solid innings, allowing three runs on seven hits to get his fourth win of the season. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards came back from a 3-0 deficit in the third inning, scoring three runs in the bottom of the third, two coming on third baseman Trent Higginbothem’s (North Florida) two RBI single. Higginbothem finished 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst baseman Austin Barr (Stanford) then added an RBI single in the fourth, and shortstop Tony Butler (Virginia) tacked on an RBI double in the fifth to put the Mallards up 5-3. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mallards went on to score one more in the seventh before reliever Devin Over (Connecticut) closed down the Blue Anchors in the ninth, allowing one run to receive his first save of the season.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tReliever Andrew Buckley (California) came on after Sharp in the sixth, throwing two scoreless innings in relief and striking out two. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBlue Anchors pitcher Jordan Risse (St. Scholastica) suffered the loss, giving up one run in the fourth to drop to 0-1 on the year. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the playoff race, the Mallards are three games back of the Wisconsin Woodchucks in the Northwoods League South Division overall standings. For the Mallards to make the playoffs, they must finish in sole second place in the overall standings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
