The loss marks the second-straight time the Ignite have been shut out this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was a quiet start to play at the Duck Pond, but Madison was the first squad to make noise with an Ella Stephenson home run to left in the third. It was her second game in a row with a homer and her league-leading eighth of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison strengthened their lead in the fourth when Ava Carroll forced a bases-loaded walk to bring home Tayler Baker. Carroll would contribute another run in the sixth on an RBI single, starting a four-run frame that put the game out of reach for the Ignite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Riley Stiles got the start and went 5.1 innings with two strikeouts, keeping it a two-run game until the sixth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau falls to 6-12 on the season and will head to La Crosse on Saturday for a doubleheader with the 6-12 Steam. First pitch for game one is scheduled for 5:05 pm CT, while game two will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leveraging the 31-year success of the Northwoods League, the first for-profit Summer Collegiate Baseball League, Northwoods League Softball (NWLS) is the first for-profit Women\u2019s Summer Collegiate Softball League beginning play in the Upper Midwest in the summer of 2024.\u00a0 The purpose of the League will be to develop players for their college, Olympic and future professional play.\u00a0 Teams will be promoted similar to minor league baseball teams, playing games in front of fans in a fun, friendly, family-oriented environment.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wausau, WI- The Wausau Ignite couldn\u2019t get it done in Madison, as they drop a fourth-straight contest to the Night  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":35905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,14],"tags":[42,46,43,19,41,21],"class_list":["post-35902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news","category-update-ticker","tag-collegiate-softball","tag-ignite-softball","tag-northwoods-league-softball","tag-nwl-softball","tag-wausau-ignite-softball","tag-wausau-wisconsin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ignite Held Scoreless in Fourth of July Matchup with Night Mares - Wausau Ignite<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The WAUSAU IGNITE are the newest team in Northwoods League Softball, the first for-profit Women\u2019s Summer Collegiate Softball League.
