Madison, WI - Last night the Mallards beat the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders 10-7 in a thrilling three-run walk-off home run by Justice Bigbie (Western Carolina).

The Mallards and Dock Spiders went back and forth during the game, with the lead changing hands three different times. Going into the ninth inning, Madison and Fond du Lac were both tied at 7.
In the bottom of the ninth Bigbie became the hero for the Mallards after hitting a three-run home run to secure the Mallards tenth victory of the season. After being mobbed by his teammates at home plate, Bigbie was named Impact Player of the Night.
