The ugly night for the system theme did not exclude Wisconsin, and the Rattlers were unable to extend their winning streak to a season-long four games. The offense produced six hits, four of which belonged to the combined efforts of Demi Orimoloye and Mario Feliciano. Feliciano's two hits pushed hit average up to .312, and his OPS is back up over 800. No extra base hits today, no Timber Rattler drew a walk, and the team K'd 12 times.

 

The LumberKings' starting pitcher, Tim Viehoff, has an 80 grade delivery. The definition of wonky left-hander. Check it out. Also, Viehoff struck out the first seven Rattlers he faced, and then failed to record another K for the remainder of his five inning outing.

 

Starter Nattino Diplan was great for two innings and then went off the rails with one out in the 3rd. I think I mention it every time, but with his stuff, it's just so frustrating to watch him pitch. He'll be fine, then he'll lose his release point, then he starts grooving pitches, disaster. Rinse and repeat.
