Wausau Woodchucks
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – Despite trailing early, Wausau was able to make it happen Friday night at Athletic Park, taking down Madison 5-2.
Madison (5-7) added the first two runs of the game in the second off two different RBI singles to take a 2-0 lead. Wausau would answer with one in the second off an RBI single by Dalton Pearson (Georgia State) scoring Mike Adair (Dayton).
From there it was all Wausau (8-4), scoring two in the fifth and two in the sixth. Despite this, Madison threatened with bases loaded and no outs in the sixth, but would not see a runner come across. The first out was on a fielder’s choice, and then pitcher Christian Clack (Alabama-Birmingham) came into the game and struck out two, keeping Madison scoreless.
Adair went 3/4 with a double and three RBIs, the biggest coming off a two-RBI single in the sixth. Clack went 2.2 innings with five strikeouts while only allowing one hit.
The Mallards appeared to have a threat brewing in the 8th but that was snuffed out when they grounded into an inning-ending double play.
The Woodchucks head to Wisconsin Rapids for the first of another two with the Rafters. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. Saturday.
