Madison Mallards News Release
Wisconsin Rapids, WI - Carson Hansen's (University of Kentucky) huge day at the plate led the Madison Mallards (23-17) to a blowout victory over the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (15-26) on Sunday afternoon.
Hansen got the Mallards on the board with an RBI single in the top of the second, making it 1-0. Later in the frame, Jordy Lopez (University of California Berkeley) drew a walk with the bases full, increasing the lead to 2-0.
In the third, the Mallards grew their lead as Hansen brought home a run on a sac fly for a 3-0 advantage. Will Johannes (University of Illinois) then forced in another with a bases-loaded walk, making it 4-0. On the mound, Michael Yeager (University of Virginia) blanked the Rafters through five innings, striking out four.
The Mallards offense stayed hot in the sixth. Davis Hamilton (University of Minnesota) plated another run with a sac fly, pushing the score to 5-0. Shortly after, Hansen delivered a two-run double to left, giving the Mallards a commanding 7-0 lead.
The Rafters finally scored in the seventh inning on a two run home run from Junior Barajas (Saddleback Community College) to cut the lead to 7-2. But the Mallards answered back in the eighth, as Hamilton hit a two-run double to make it 9-2.
Madison put the game away in the top of the ninth. With three runs already home, Hansen clobbered a three-run home run to make it 15-3, and the Mallards held on to win by that score. Hansen finished the day with three hits and seven runs batted in.
Yeager earned his second win of the season on the mound for the Mallards. Noah Marschke (Madison College) was charged with the loss for the Rafters.
