Nolan Smith drove in four runs to back Brandon Bornhorst's complete-game shutout as the Madison Mallards rolled past the Minneota Mudhens 13-0 at K.P. Kompelien Field on Sunday. Smith, who finished 2-for-3, rapped a two-run double in the second inning, had a run-scoring single in the sixth and a bases-loaded walk in the eighth.
