Woodchucks Improve to 4-1 Over Mallards

WAUSAU, Wis. – Wausau scores 14, drowning Ducks in game one Wednesday afternoon 14-8 at Athletic

Park.

Wausau (13-10) would score first in the third as Jacob Schroeder (Illinois) slid home. Madison would

respond fast, scoring one off a home run.

After Madison (12-11) scored one in the fourth, Wausau would take back the lead by scoring two in the

bottom of the inning.

Despite Madison scoring one run each in four innings, Wausau would take control of this game offensively,

scoring six runs in fifth, four in seventh, and one in eighth, making the score 14-4. Three of those runs

would come from Drew Berkland’s (Minnesota) three-run home run in the fifth.

Mallards would attempt a comeback, but scoring four in the eighth would not be enough.

Key Moments:

Berkland, along with his three-run home run, went 3/4 with a two-RBI single in the 7th and scored two

runs.

Starting pitcher Travis Lutz went six full innings – the longest outing of his season – striking out seven

while allowing three runs on six hits.

Up Next:

The Woodchucks will remain at Athletic Park where they will face the Madison Mallards Wednesday

evening for the second game in their double-header. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. It will be 80s

Night.
