Madison, Wis. - The first-place Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (13-8) look to maintain their lead in the Great Lakes West Division in game two against the Madison Mallards (10-11) on Friday.

The Rafters played their first extra-inning game of the season on Thursday, dropping game one against the Mallards 5-4 in 10 innings. Jake Dunham and Osvaldo Tovalin both had home runs for Wisconsin Rapids.

Cal Djuraskovic is projected to start for Wisconsin Rapids. The lefty has a perfect 3-0 record and a 4.50 ERA in nine appearances and two starts this summer. Madison will start all-star pitcher Lowell Schipper, who is 4-2 with a 2.12 ERA.

The Rafters now have a one-game lead on the Lakeshore Chinooks for first place in the division with just 15 games remaining in the regular season. The Rafters and Chinooks will face off four more times this season.

When the Rafters return to Historic Witter Field Saturday, they will face the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders and host a postgame fireworks show presented by McCain Foods. It will be game one of a two-game set with Fond du Lac.
