Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. \u2013 The return from the All-Star Break didn\u2019t go as planned for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (3-12), dropping their game 18-0 against the Madison Mallards (8-6-1) Friday night. The Mallards led from the get-go and stayed consistent throughout the night to claim the big win. The Mallards sprayed 18 hits across the night and had a nine-run eighth inning as part of their win, with six players collecting multiple hits. Landon Gaz had the only hit for the Rafters, while Brent Gallegos allowed two earned runs in three innings and Jafet Martinez none in 1.1 innings.<\/p>\n

The Mallards scored two in the top of the first on a pair of RBIs off Rafters starter Jeremy Jones (0-2), then added another on an RBI single in the third to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Another three runs came across for Madison in the top of the fourth off Wisconsin Rapids\u2019 Jones, all on RBI singles from the Mallards.<\/p>\n

The offense continued rolling for Madison in the top of the fifth, adding three runs to the lead to make it 9-0 against Rafters reliever Brent Gallegos.<\/p>\n

Gallegos had a pair of shutout innings to follow but in the seventh, Landon Dessart struggled in his debut and allowed eight runs before Jafet Martinez came in and allowed one of his own to make it 18-0.<\/p>\n

Martinez tossed a scoreless ninth, but it wasn\u2019t enough as the Rafters offense was silent against the five Mallards pitchers.<\/p>\n

The loss was the Rafters\u2019 first shutout of the season, and they\u2019ll look to avoid a streak Saturday with a rematch against the Mallards. First pitch of Saturday\u2019s game is scheduled for 6:35 P.M. and will be broadcast for video on NWL+ and for radio on WFHR 97.5 FM\/1320 AM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
