Madison Mallards News Release
Alexandria, MN - June 22, 2014. The Madison Mallards (14-9) resume play today after not playing the past two days due to record rainfall in Willmar, Minnesota.

The Mallards scheduled doubleheader yesterday against the Willmar Stingers (16-5) was postponed due to unplayable field conditions after rainfall in Willmar made the playing surface at Bill Taunton Stadium unplayable. The rescheduled date for the doubleheader is to be determined.
