Express vs. Loggers

A few pregame notes for tonight's game between the Eau Claire Express and La Crosse Loggers:

* Tonight’s starter, Cal Poly right-hander D.J. Mauldin, arrived in town earlier in the day.

“We’ll see what he can bring to the table and go from there,” manager Dale Varsho said.

* Brooks Pinckard (groin) and Pat Colwell (shoulder) are available again.

* Varsho said the Chicago Cubs will be in Madison on Wednesday to watch David Cales pitch. That outing likely will determine whether or not the Cubs sign Cales, who they drafted in the 24th round earlier this month.

“They need to see him throw and then they’ll decide,” Varsho said.

* Right-hander Chris Odegaard and the Minnesota Twins still are negotiating.

* After the game, "Little Big League" will be shown on a portable screen in the outfield.
