Green Bay, Wis. - After picking up a big win against the Madison Mallards on Sunday, the Bullfrogs enjoyed the off day and look to keep rolling as they head on the road to Michigan. In the first 20 games of the season, the Bullfrogs are 7-13. They sit in last place in the South Division, six games back of the division leading Madison Mallards.

Austin Hancock (Lenoir Rhyne) put together his best start of the season against the Mallards on Sunday. The sophomore threw seven scoreless innings while striking out five batters. The offense backed Hancock up, putting up a nine spot on the Mallards.

Even though the Bullfrogs have not gotten off to the start that they hoped for, they have played better baseball as of late. The last series against the Mallards demonstrated the team's turnaround. The team got two great starts from their top arms, showed great improvements on defense, and the offense is starting to work together to produce more runs.

As we head towards the second part of the first half of the season, the Bullfrogs look to build off the momentum of last series. The next four games are critical games as they try to work their way back to .500. They begin tonight in Battle Creek as they take on the Bombers for a two game series. Following that series they head to Kalamazoo to face the Growlers.

Chad Mabini (Western Carolina) will get his second start of the season. In his last start, Mabini went five innings and gave up four runs to the Kenosha Kingfish. For the Bombers, Tommy Parsons will take his 2-1 record and 2.87 ERA to the mound.

First pitch is 7:05 ET (6:05 CT).
