The two teams battled it out last night in Madison, with the Mallards winning the low-scoring affair by a score of 1-0. Josh Stowers (Louisville) hit his first home run of the season, which ended up making the difference, and the pitching staff threw their first shutout of 2016.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLooking to build off of the stellar performance that Madison received from their pitchers a night ago, manager Donnie Scott will throw Frank German (North Florida), who has been sensational on his own this season. The right-hander will be making his fifth start of 2016, currently standing at 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA. German has been a member of the rotation since the beginning of the season, owning the lowest earned run average of that original group.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLakeshore will throw Tyler Jandron (UW-Parkside), who will be making his first start of the season. Jandron has only appeared in one game this season, as the left-hander worked three scoreless in innings in relief against Kenosha back on June 24<sup>th<\/sup>, allowing only one base runner in that outing. Jandron posted a 2.71 ERA in 15 appearances (nine starts) with the UW-Parkside Rangers in 2016.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDespite scoring only one run last night, the Mallards have been receiving outstanding performances at the plate as of late. Zach Jarrett (UNC-Charlotte) has hit three home runs and 13 RBIs in his last ten games, putting himself only a couple of RBIs behind the Northwoods League leader. Josh Stowers is hitting .409 over his last 22 at-bats and Nick Roark (Oral Roberts) has turned in five RBIs in his last ten games. Roark is hitting .326 in 46 at-bats this season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Mallards will return to the Duck Pond on Saturday, July 2nd to take on the St. Cloud Rox at 5:05 pm. The game will feature postgame fireworks, presented by Pepsi. There will also be a performance by Brothers &amp; Sisters featuring the Brothers of Locksley with Friends.
