Wednesday's Daily Menu:

 

All times are Central

 

Nashville: RHP Brian Baker at Round Rock (Rangers), 6:50 PM pre-game, 7:05 gametime

 

Free Live Audio Link

Huntsville: RHP Evan Anundsen at Mississippi (Braves), 6:45 PM pre-game, 7:00 gametime

Alex Cohen is the new play-by-play voice of the Stars; follow him on Twitter @alexmcohen. It's fantastic that Huntsville is returning to what will be a traditional broadcast format this year. All games, home and away, are scheduled to be broadcast.

 

MiLB.TV subsciption note: Huntsville road games in four locales (Mississippi, Tennessee, Jacksonville and Pensacola) will be broadcast.

 

**********

 

Brevard County: RHP's Drew Gagnon and Nick Bucci in a doubleheader at home vs. Lakeland (Tigers), 4:05 PM gametime; each contest slated for seven innings

 

Sorry, no audio available for this series...

 

Once again this season, Brevard does not have its own audio coverage. It appears two teams in the Manatees North Division (within which the majority of games are played) have audio, and all six teams in the South Division have audio (at least for their home games), so there will be opportunities to listen to approx. 70% or Brevard's games this season, just all from the opponent's perspective. There are no Florida State League games on MiLB.TV this year.

 

**********

 

Wisconsin: RHP Chad Pierce at home vs. Cedar Rapids (Angels), 6:45 PM pre-game, 7:05 gametime

 

Free Live Audio Link - 1280 AM WNAM

 

Chris Mehring is back to do his customary fantastic work as the Voice of the Rattlers. Follow him on Twitter @CMehring; we'll link to Chris' infamous blog often -- Rattler Radio.

 

MiLB.TV -- for subscribers; Wisconsin is one of only two (Great Lakes) Midwest League clubs that have all their home games available via MiLB.TV; Chris' call provides the audio. So for the $39.95 season-long package, fans in Brewer Nation can watch all Sounds games, all Timber Rattlers home games, and Stars' road games from four Southern League locales.

 

**********

 

Helena: RHP Tyler Wagner at home vs. Grand Junction (Rockies), 7:50 PM pre-game, 8:05 gametime

 

Free Live Audio Link -- Select the Helena feed from the MiLB main audio page

**********

 

Arizona Rookie (Maryvale): at home vs. the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers; 9:00 PM gametime; never audio for games in this league

 

**********

Sean Halton started at 3B for the Sounds tonight. He's never played anywhere other than 1B except for three games in LF for Helena in 2009. Interesting.

 

 

I wonder how long he's been taking ground balls at 3B? Hopefully he shows some ability there. It would certainly increase his chances of someday seeing big league time and they need room at 1b for Morris.

 

edit: Wow, look what the move to 3B did! 2 HR and 4 RBI for big Sean tonight!

Lakeland (Tigers) 3 Brevard County 2 F/8

 

Box Score

 

Man, what a tough loss and at a crucial time. Drew Gagnon continues to impress, this time in a big time game. He recorded 15 outs allowing just 3 H 1 R 1 ER 1 BB and 1 HR. He notched 5 K and 2:5 GO:FO ratio. The fact that Drew is maybe 10th or 11th in the pitcher pecking order in the minors should have Brewers fans very excited. Just a solid prospect with room to grow. Greg Holle got 6 outs but he gave up the tying run in top of the 7th. Being a shortened game, that was not good timing at all. Alan Williams came on next and promptly allowed the winning run in the top of the 8th.

 

At the plate, Jason Rogers (1-3 2B IBB) continues his assault on minor league pitching. Nick Shaw and Cody Hawn each had two hits. All of BC's runs came on a 2-run shot from Parker Berberet. It was his 2nd with the Manatees.

Nice bounce-back for Drew.

Lakeland (Tigers) 3 Brevard County 2 F/7

 

Box Score

 

Nick Bucci started the 2nd half of the twin bill for BC. He was what I would call sloppily effective. 15 outs allowing 3 H 2 R 2 ER 6 BB and 1 HBP with 5 K and a 5:3 GO:FO ratio. I am certainly optimistic about Nick going forward. Once he firms up his command again, look out. Eric Arnett finished the game with 2 IP but he gave up the winning run to Lakeland on a homer in the 6th.

 

At the plate, Joey Paciorek had a very good game going 3-3. Reggie Keen and Nick Shaw were each 1-2 with a BB and Mike Walker had 2 hits. John Dishon stole his 15th and 16th bases.

 

This BC rotation could be very strong again early in 2013. Gagnon, Miller, Pierce, Bradley, Moye, Goforth and Hall are all options. Although, the way Gagnon is going, he might be in Huntsville with Jungmann, Bucci and Nelson.

 

Game Log

 

That is just so Keen of him to do down 1 in a tight playoff chase.

 

Brevard County Bottom of the 7th

 

Pitching Change: Matt Little replaces Ryan Woolley.

Joey Paciorek singles on a line drive to center fielder Luis Castillo.

John Dishon pops out to second baseman Hernan Perez.

Franklin Romero Jr. grounds out, pitcher Matt Little to first baseman James Robbins. Joey Paciorek to 2nd.

Reggie Keen singles on a ground ball to center fielder Luis Castillo. Joey Paciorek scores.

With Nick Shaw batting, Reggie Keen picked off and caught stealing 2nd base, pitcher Matt Little to first baseman James Robbins to shortstop Dixon Machado.

Final: Cedar Rapids 1, Wisconsin 5

 

Pair of early homers leads Wisconsin past Cedar Rapids

 

GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers scored five runs in the first two innings and a pair of pitchers made those early runs stand up for a win. Wisconsin topped the Cedar Rapids Kernels 5-1 Wednesday night at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. The Rattlers scored four of their five runs on two home runs as the 2012 team continued its assault on the franchise single-season home run record.

 

Chadwin Stang put Wisconsin (73-54 overall, 29-29 second half) in front on the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning. The Rattlers center fielder drilled a home run to left and made it 1-0 with his leadoff homer.

 

The Rattlers used the long ball in the second inning to extend their lead. Max Walla blasted a three-run home run over the wall in right-center with two outs for a 4-0 lead. Kernels starting pitcher Frank De Jiulio walked the next two batters. Then, Nick Ramirez singled to drive in one more run for a 5-0 lead.

 

Ramirez went 1-for-1 on the night and drew four walks. Wisconsin hitters drew ten walks in the game.

 

Cedar Rapids (48-80, 16-42) got on the board in the fourth inning. Andy Workman singled. A double by Frazier Hall drove in Workman to make the score 5-1. That was the only run Cedar Rapids would get in the game.

 

Rattlers starting pitcher Chad Pierce pitched six innings, walked three, and struck out six to put himself in line for his seventh win of the season. He left the game in the hands of reliever Kevin Shackelford.

 

Shackelford tossed four scoreless inning to nail down the victory and his fifth save of the season.

 

Wisconsin's two home runs on Wednesday night pushed their season total to 96. The franchise record for home runs by the team is 101 and was set in 2005.

 

Wisconsin and Cedar Rapids continue their series on Thursday night. David Goforth (8-7, 5.04) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. The Kernels have Ryan Crowley (1-4, 4.08) as their scheduled starter. Game time is 7:05pm.

 

The Timber Rattlers are offering kids a chance for one last HURRAH! with a Back to School Summer Sendoff. FunPros Inflatables will be at the stadium and youngsters may also play free in the Kid Zone all night long.

 

Bring in a donation to the Community Clothes Closet School Supplies Drive and you will be entered into a raffle for a prize filled backpack from JanSport.

Deja vu on the final score me thinks.

 

Helena 3 Grand Junction (Rockies) 2

 

Box Score

 

Game ball goes to Tyler Wagner. Just a wonderful start. He recorded 21 outs allowing just 2 H 2 R 0 ER 2 BB while notching 7 K and a sparkling 11:1 GO:FO ratio. It has not been the smoothest transition to the pros for Wagner, but many expected that. If this kid can be a quick learner, he may just be a quick riser. Big arm that just needs some direction and innings. Mike Francisco tallied a save with 2 scoreless innings and 3 K.

 

At the dish, Chris McFarland (1-4 HR) provided the big blow while Paul Eshleman (1-4) captured the GW hit. Adam Giacalone hit a 2B. So did Emmanuel Quiles and Jose Pena except both of them also added singles finishing the night 2-4. Pena and Giacalone each stole a bag too.

 

I just realized I have been spelling Eshleman wrong. My bad Paul.

 

Game Log

 

Wagner was perfect through 2 and no-hitting 'em through 4.1 innings
