Final: Wisconsin 4, @Cedar Rapids 1

Chris Mehring/Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA - TJ Mittelstaedt may not want four days off for the Midwest League All-Star break. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers outfielder had a triple, a home run, and two RBI in a 4-1 victory over the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Sunday afternoon in the final game of the first half. Mittelstaedt went 11-for-21 with a pair of home runs during the just concluded 7-game road trip for the Rattlers.

Mittelstaedt put Wisconsin (38-32) in front in the top of the fifth inning. He tripled to right-center with two outs to drive in the first run of the game.

Cedar Rapids (32-38) came back in the bottom of the fifth on a two-out RBI single by Rolando Gomez.

Chris Dennis put the Rattlers back in front with a two-out RBI double in the top of the sixth.

Mittelstaedt struck again in the top of the seventh. He stepped to the plate with two outs and none on base. Mittelstaedt lined a 1-1 pitch to the right field corner. The ball glanced off the foul pole just above the wall for a home run. Mittelstaedt's sixth home run of the season put the Rattlers up 3-1.

Rattlers starting pitcher Austin Ross tossed three scoreless innings and left the game in favor of Del Howell. Howell, who had not worked in a game since June 10, came on and allowed one run over three innings.

Stosh Wawrzasek worked a scoreless seventh inning, but issued a walk and gave up a double with one out in the eighth inning. The call went to Brian Garman.

The lefty got a strikeout and deep fly ball to left to preserve the 3-1 lead.

The Rattlers added an insurance run in the top of the ninth. Franklin Romero, Jr. singled and stole second. Mittelstaedt dropped a sacrifice bunt to move Romero to third. Mike Brownstein's sacrifice fly to center got Romero home and Wisconsin led 4-1.

Garman worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning for the save, his third of the season.

Wisconsin is off as a team until Friday night. The Timber Rattlers start the second half of the 2011 season at home on June 24 against the Quad Cities River Bandits. Game time is 7:05pm.

Four Timber Rattlers will be busy during the Midwest League All-Star Break. Chris Dennis, Austin Ross, Tyler Thornburg, and Mike Walker were selected by the managers of the Western Division to represent the Rattlers in the All-Star Game on June 21 at Modern Woodmen Park in Davenport, Iowa.

Fans in Wisconsin who are Time Warner Cable subscribers will be able to watch the game on Sports 32. Game time is 7:00pm.

Ross threw 33 pitches and 22 strikes. The Rattlers staff combined to walk five while only fanning two, but hey, it worked for today. Figures that in after the two extra-base hits, Mittelstatedt drop down a sac bunt. He's now got a pretty great .319/.443/.496 line on the year. Romero and Cody Hawn joined Mittelstaedt with two hits, Walker walked twice, and Chad Stang singled and walked.

Final: Nashville 5, @Memphis 3

Nashville Sounds

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Brandon Boggs and Brett Carroll each belted a pair of home runs to power the Nashville Sounds to a 5-3 victory over the cross-state rival Memphis Redbirds on Sunday evening at AutoZone Park.

With the victory, the Sounds (31-38) snapped a two-game skid and brought an end to the Redbirds' six-game winning streak.

Boggs (2-for-4) homered from both sides of the plate in the contest, going deep from the right side of the plate in the first and from the left side in the eighth. Carroll (3-for-4) extended his longest hit streak of the year to nine games with his two-homer effort. Their feats marked the ninth and tenth two-homer efforts posted by Nashville batters this season.

The Sounds jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead against Memphis starter Nick Additon, belting a pair of first-inning home runs off the right-hander.

Boggs got things started with a bang for the Sounds, opening the contest with an eight-pitch at-bat that culminated in a leadoff homer to left. The blast, his second game-opening longball in the past week, was Boggs' fourth of the year.

Later in the frame, Edwin Maysonet drew a one-out walk then trotted home when Carroll mashed a two-run roundtripper to left. The blast was the outfielder's 10th of the year.

Carroll struck again in the third, swatting a two-out solo homer to left on a 1-0 pitch from Additon to up the visitors' lead to 4-0. It marked his second two-homer game of the season.

Left-hander Chase Wright made his return to the Sounds' rotation following Mark DiFelice's recent promotion to Milwaukee. He opened the contest by allowing only two hits over four scoreless frames before the Redbirds broke through in the fifth.

Second baseman Jose Garcia drew an inning-opening walk from Wright and scored when Nick Derba followed with an RBI triple off the base of the wall in dead center. Pinch-hitter Freddie Bynum halved the Nashville lead to 4-2 when he looped a run-scoring single to right.

Wright (4-4) continued his career dominance of Memphis and earned the victory by allowing two runs on four hits over his five innings of work in his first start since May 29th. The left-hander has defeated the Redbirds five times in his seven career outings against them.

Boggs, batting left-handed, belted his second homer of the night to lead of the eighth inning, ripping a solo shot to right to greet Memphis reliever Pete Parise. His fifth longball of the year extended the Sounds' lead to 5-2.

Right-hander Sean Green followed Wright to the hill for the Sounds and turned in three hitless innings of work, allowing only one baserunner when he hit a batter.

Memphis made it interesting in the bottom of the ninth against Sounds left-hander Zach Braddock, who made his first appearance since being optioned from Milwaukee.

After Aaron Luna opened the frame with a walk, Daryl Jones (3-for-4) singled through the right side of the infield to bring the potential tying run to the plate. Matt Carpenter continued the rally by lining an opposite-field RBI single down the left field line to plate Luna to make it a 5-3 contest.

Braddock quickly recovered by catching the next two Memphis hitters looking at called third strikes before popping up pinch-hitter Bryan Anderson for the final out of the contest, securing the Sounds' win and earning his first save of the year. On the game's final play, Boggs made an outstanding sliding catch in foul territory to glove the final out.

Additon (1-4) took the loss for Memphis after surrendering four runs in his five innings of work.

Catcher Wil Nieves made his Sounds debut in the contest and went 0-for-4 at the plate while batting from the second spot in the order.

The teams will wrap up the series with a 7:05 p.m. finale on Monday evening. Left-hander Sam Narron (4-2, 3.59) will make the start for the Sounds to face Memphis right-hander Lance Lynn (6-3, 3.78). Both hurlers rank among the Pacific Coast League's top 10 in ERA.

The only baserunners not mentioned were singles by Maysonet and Eric Farris. Caleb Gindl's recent hot stretch ended in a screech; he's hitless in his last four games. Taylor Green did not play. Not sure whether I'm glad or not that Nieves accepted his assignment.

Final: Birmingham 6, @Huntsville 5

The Stars were down 6-2 entering the bottom of the 9th and rallied for three runs, but it wasn't quite enough. Logan Schafer (triple, single, walk), Lee Haydel (three singles), and the lost-in-the-shuffle Matt Cline (two singles and a walk) had big nights. The triple was just Schafer's fifth extra-base hit in 130 at-bats this year. Haydel was picked off, which goes as officially his 11th caught-stealing of the year, against just eight successful steals--bizarre. Sean Halton was 1-5, and Erik Komatsu did not play. Jesus Sanchez was your starter and allowed two runs in four innings, striking out five.

Schafer committed a key error to allow the Barons to extend their lead in the top of the 9th:

Birmingham Top of the 9th
  • Pitcher Change: Robert Wooten replaces Darren Byrd.
  • Greg Paiml grounds out, first baseman Sean Halton to pitcher Robert Wooten.
  • Alden Carrithers flies out to center fielder Logan Schafer.
  • Justin Greene walks.
  • Christian Marrero singles on a line drive to center fielder Logan Schafer. Justin Greene scores. Christian Marrero to 2nd. Fielding error by center fielder Logan Schafer.
  • Josh Phegley flies out to center fielder Logan Schafer.

So close:

Huntsville Bottom of the 9th
  • Matt Cline walks.
  • Hainley Statia lines out to left fielder Christian Marrero.
  • Logan Schafer walks. Matt Cline to 2nd.
  • Lee Haydel singles on a ground ball to center fielder Justin Greene. Matt Cline scores. Logan Schafer to 3rd.
  • Sean Halton grounds out softly, third baseman Kyle Shelton to first baseman Seth Loman. Logan Schafer scores. Lee Haydel to 2nd.
  • Brandon Jones doubles (12) on a fly ball to left fielder Christian Marrero. Lee Haydel scores.
  • Angel Gonzalez flies out to right fielder Kenneth Williams.
