Madison Mallards News Release


Madison, Wis. - The Madison Mallards (3-1) start a four game road trip today against the Wisconsin Woodchucks (0-4) in Wausau, Wisconsin. Chris Oakley (North Carolina) will take the mound in his first start and second appearance of the season. Oakley came on in relief Wednesday night against the Kalamazoo Growlers, pitching just one inning and giving up two hits and two walks. He will look to bounce back against Seth Davis, a 5'10", 185-pound lefty from Augustana University making his first appearance this season for the Woodchucks. Davis was 5-2 with a 3.46 ERA in his junior season for the Vikings. He pitched a total of 70.1 innings with 89 strikeouts.

Last night, the Mallards beat the La Crosse Loggers 15-3. Trent Higginbothem (North Florida) led the Mallards going 3-for-4 with one home run and four RBI. Starting Mallards pitcher Tom Constand (Western Illinois) received the win, tossing five innings of two run ball and giving up seven hits while striking out three.

Tomorrow the Mallards will stay in Wausau to play the Woodchucks in game two of the series. First pitch is scheduled for 5:05 pm.
