Mallards pitcher Matt Horkey (UNC-Charlotte) held Rockford to three runs, none of which were earned, as he got the victory for Madison (6-9).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBarton (1-2) had a rough start. In the 1<sup>st<\/sup> inning, he walked Nick Schrader (Western Illinois) and gave up a double to Cole Daily (Notre Dame) before Jeffrey Mitchell Jr. (California) went deep to left field. Kian O&rsquo;Brien also scored in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> and Schrader scored his second run of the night in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> inning to give Madison a 5-0 lead early in the game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, Barton settled down and did not give up any more runs. The offense finally gave him some support in the 4<sup>th<\/sup>, and the game looked as if it might be within reach. Bren Spillane (Illinois), Zach Rheams (Texas Tech), and Neal Tyrell (Lewis) all scored in the frame to come within two runs of Madison, 5-3.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tUnfortunately, the Rockford bullpen could not keep the game within reach. Brad Littleton (Indiana) gave up three runs in the 6<sup>th<\/sup> and Madison took an 8-3 lead. Rockford could not manage much offense late in the game to keep up with Madison. After the 6<sup>th<\/sup> inning, the Rivets as a team only had one hit, and Madison added three more runs in top of the 9<sup>th<\/sup> inning to pull away from Rockford (9-7).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tToday, the Rivets finished their six-game home stand. The Rivets return to Rockford on Tuesday, June 20<sup>th<\/sup> as part of a home and away double-header against Madison. The first pitch is at 6:35 p.m. and gates open at 5:35 p.m. On Wednesday, June 21<sup>st<\/sup>, the Rivets have another Weiner Wednesday! There will be $1 hot dogs during the game. Tyler&rsquo;s Amazing Balancing Act will be performing during the game.
