Weather conditions that resembled a football game at "The Frank,\u201d included cool temperatures and a constant drizzle the first 2 innings. <\/p>\n
In the first game of the double-header played at the cold and drizzly Franklin Rogers Park, Madison took game one, 9-3.<\/p>\n
Warren Rosebrock started on the hill for the MoonDogs, and the tough elements showed early, as Rosebrock struggled with his control and the mound, allowing 6 runs in the top of the first.<\/p>\n
With the drizzle still coming down, the MoonDogs came right back in the bottom of the first to score 2 runs. Matt Falk provided the big hit with a 2 RBI double that hit off the right-center field fence. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Rosebrock, the Mallards and the inclimate weather did him in, pitching just 3 innings and getting tagged with his second loss of the season. <\/p>\n
The Mallards went on to score 1 run in the top of the third inning and 2 more runs in the top of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n
Mankato tacked on one more run in the bottom of the fifth to finish off the scoring in game one. <\/p>\n
Ryan Chiarelli went 2-4 on the night and Matt Falk finished 1-3 with a double and 2 RBI.<\/p>\n
