Madison Mallards News Release
Green Bay, Wis. - The Madison Mallards (26-8) added to their first place win total with a 3-2 win over the Bullfrogs (12-22) Sunday afternoon. The game was called with two outs and the Mallards batting in the top of the seventh inning after a brief rain deluge left the field unplayable.
Justin Watland's (San Jose State) scoreless inning streak was snapped at 20 innings in the bottom of the fourth inning when Green Bay scored two unearned runs to tie the game 2-2.
TURNING POINT
With two outs in the top of the fifth, Justice Bigbie (Western Carolina) lined a double over the right fielder's head which scored Trevor Schwecke (UW Milwaukee) with the winning run. Manager Donnie Scott handed the ball over to Leon Hunter (North Carolina A&T) in the bottom of the fifth, and Hunter struck out the first four in a row he faced. For his two innings of scoreless relief Hunter earned his third win of the summer.
