Whitney had no answer to Madrigal as he pitched 4.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Madrigal has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.

Madrigal and Elk Grove will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Granite Bay at 6:00 p.m. Madrigal has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 0.8 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Granite Bay has only allowed 3.19 per game this season.
