Following a 6-5 loss in Fond Du Lac on Father's Day, the Madison Mallards (8-12) will play in Fondy once again against the Dock Spiders (12-8).
After the Ducks put a run on the board in the first inning, the Dock Spiders scored six runs in the first five innings to go up 6-1.
The Mallards then mounted a comeback, scoring four runs in the top of the 6th highlighted by an Alex Iadisernia (Elon) home run and a Cam Cratic (Missouri State) RBI-double.
Following Cratic's double, the game went into a three hour plus rain delay, and neither team scored another run.
Starting on the mound tonight for the Mallards will be Ernie Day (Iowa Western). Day has made three starts on the season, all on the road. He's pitched 15 total innings and has a 3.60 ERA with 22 strikeouts.
