Pearson, Woodchucks Walk Off Mallards

WAUSAU, Wis. – An extra-inning comeback propelled Wausau past Madison Wednesday evening at

Athletic Park 8-7 to sweep the doubleheader.

After keeping Madison scoreless in the tenth, Dalton Pearson (Georgia State) would come up to bat with

two outs and hit a single, scoring Brady Jurgella (Minnesota) to win.

Madison (12-12) was the first team to score, bringing in two runs in the third and one in the fourth.

The Woodchucks (14-11) would respond with one run off a Drew Berkland (Minnesota) home run, making

the score 3-1 in fourth.

Despite scoring two in the fifth and another in the sixth, the Mallards would hold their lead and lengthen

it, scoring a home run in the ninth making the score 7-4.

The Woodchucks would complete the comeback to force extra innings, scoring three in the ninth to tie the

game 7-7 off an RBI single by Jesse Donohoe (Georgia State).

Key Moments:

Beside his walk off winning RBI single, Pearson picked up two different doubles and made a phenomenal

throw from center field in the top of the 10th, throwing out Madison runner Estevan Moreno (Notre

Dame) at home.

With two outs in the tenth, Mike Maginnis (Georgia State) came to the plate and was walked, setting

Pearson up for the game winning hit.
