The Madison College baseball team was back at it again on short rest, this time against the UW-Madison Club Team. Due to a cancellation, the WolfPack hosted the club team from the Wisconsin's largest state school in a nine inning game and beat them with ease in a 22-5 win.
The 'Pack jumped ahead early with four runs in the first and two runs in the second, and starter Parker Schrage held the Badgers scoreless until surrendering two runs in the top of the third. The WolfPack plated six runs in both the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings to give the home team the 18-2 advantage, before reliever Casey Doucete came in for Schrage, gave up a run in the fifth, before hurling a 1-2-3 inning in the sixth. Schrage pitched four innings and allowed two runs while striking out five in his start. Cole Kroncke replaced Doucette and let in a run in the seventh before Madison plated four more runs in the bottom of the inning. Mitchell Arens allowed an unearned run to score in the eighth and Andy Stochl finished off the Badgers with a perfect ninth as the Madison College baseball team overpowered the Badgers for the 22-5 victory. Doucette was credited with the win in the nine inning affair after throwing two solid innings, and improved to 3-0 on the year.
James Furlano finished the night 3-for-3 at the plate with a team leading three RBI. He also scored twice in his start behind home plate. Four other WolfPack were tied with two RBI, including Trevor Burmeister, Tyler Brusky, Landon Tenhagen, and Jon Dybevik. Dybevik led the team with four hits in his 4-for-5 game with two RBI and two runs, while Burmeister went 2-for-3 with two RBI, two runs, and a double. Brusky finished 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI, and Tenhagen went 2-for-3 with two RBI, two runs, and a double. As a team, Madison College belted out 23 hits in 47 at bats while driving 16 of the 22 runs.
