On a 3-2 pitch, Jones roped a solo blast to left field to give the Rafters a 1-0 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt did not take long for the Rafters to tag on another run against Mallards starter Heath Renz (2-1). Dustin Woodcock singled in Wyatt Mascarella in the third to take a 2-0 lead after three.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRafters starter Jack Eagan (6-0) was on his game from the start, striking out four batters in the first three innings while getting production from his offense.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe day was not over for Jones as the power-surge continued for the Campbell product. Jones smacked a two-run blast in the fourth to put the Rafters on top 4-0 after four innings. Jake Guenther walked as the batter before Jones in the inning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn his second hit of the day in the fifth, Woodcock drove a single back up the middle that drove in another run, pushing the Rafters ahead 5-0 after five innings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMadison scored its first run in the fifth inning when Brock Weimer bounced into a fielder&rsquo;s choice that bounced behind Eagan on the mound to score Jeffrey Mitchell Jr to pull the game to 5-1. In the next inning, Doran Turchin doubled and scored on a double from Mitchell Jr. to make it a 5-2 game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe lead swelled back to five in the seventh for the Rafters, as Jacson McGowan blasted his first home-run of the season over the center field fence to give the Rafters a 7-2 advantage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMadison had a chance to pull closer in the seventh, but Alex Jackson got Turchin to groundout back to him to end the threat, leaving two runners on base. The Mallards added a run in the eight on a Jake Matheny groundout to bring in Mitchell Jr. who reached on an error.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNick Anderson led off the ninth with a hit for the Rafters, and was sacrificed over to second by Bryson Stott. Anderson scored on a single by Ryan Stekl. McGowan drove in Woodcock on a sacrifice fly to put the Rafters ahead 9-3 before the Mallards tagged on a run in the last inning to put the final score at 9-4.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEagan picks up his league-leading sixth win on the year, while Renz drops his first game of the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFirst pitch in Wisconsin Rapids at Witter Field is slated for 7:05 pm on Saturday against the Dock Spiders. Coverage starts at 6:50 pm on AM 1320 WFHR and WFHR.com, the Rafters Radio Network. The game against Fond du Lac is Advanced Disposal Star Wars Night.
