Not counting the playoffs, there are only nine remaining home games for the Madison Mallards this season. Following their second consecutive defeat of the La Crosse Loggers on Monday and an off night on Tuesday, the team has nine more games -- versus Waterloo, Battle Creek, Green Bay, Duluth, and Eau Claire -- at the Duck Pond over the next two weeks to close out the final quarter of the season.
After finishing the first half of the season with a winning percentage under .500 in the middle of the South Division in the Northwoods League, the Mallards have won six consecutive games to make a run for the playoffs; they're currently stand only two and a half games out in the standings.
The fun to be found at the Duck Pond during these late summer evenings is captured in a promo video for the team's 2007 season, set to their exuberant theme song "Go Go Mallards."
