Madison, Wis. - The Madison Mallards (6-3) head to Wausau today to finish a two-game set with the Wisconsin Woodchucks.

Probable Pitcher
Scheduled to start for the Mallards tonight is St. Cloud State righty Ricardo Garcia. Garcia will be making his second start of the season after working 4.0 innings in his first outing. Garcia allowed two runs on five hits in his start in Green Bay and the Mallards went on to win the ballgame, 5-3.
Players to Watch
Mallards designated hitter Tyler Plantier (Richmond) continues to lead the Mallards in hitting, now holding a .400 clip at the dish. Plantier added a knock last night and has still hit safely in every game this summer.
