McKenna Tames Warhawks, 4-1
The Minnesota Mallards beat the Illinois Warhawks, 4-1, at Todd Berry Memorial Field. Starting pitcher Jeremy McKenna was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Ben Kaiser earned his 17th save in 20 chances. The second-place Mallards have won 5 in a row.

McKenna was effective for Minnesota, seldom allowing the Warhawks to square up a pitch. The left-hander tossed 108 pitches over 8 innings. He limited Illinois to just 1 run on 3 hits.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," McKenna told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."
