Final: Wisconsin 2, Kane County 1

 

Rattlers Hang On to A Win and Their Playoff Hopes

Wisconsin beats Kane County 2-1

By Chris Mehring

 

 

GENEVA, IL - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers need a three-game sweep and a little help from the Cedar Rapids Kernels to get into the Midwest League Playoffs before the season ends on Labor Day. The Rattlers did their part with a 2-1 victory over the Kane County Cougars on Saturday in game one of the three-game series at Northwestern Medicine Field.

 

Kane County (71-65 overall, 36-31 second half) took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. A single and a walk put two runners on with no outs. Yan Sanchez singled to right to drive in the run to give the Cougars the 1-0 lead.

 

Wisconsin (67-70, 36-32) answered with two runs in the top of the fourth to go in front of Kane County. Darren Seferina started the rally with a ground-rule double. Gabriel García dropped a bunt for a single to put runners at the corners. Chad McClanahan tied the game with a sacrifice fly to right to score Seferina. García wound up at second after the throw home was wild.

 

Trever Morrison gave the Rattlers the lead with a two-out single to right to score García.

 

Wisconsin flashed some leather in the bottom of the fourth inning to maintain the lead. Jose Herrera started the inning with a double. Tra Holmes was next and he bunted right at García, who was charging from his position at first base. García picked the ball clean and first to Eddie Silva at third to catch Herrera.

 

Then, Holmes was running on a 1-2 pitch and Jose Caballero sent a hard grounder to Silva at third. Silva made a tough pick and a throw to first for the out. Holmes never stopped going around second and tried to take third, but García didn't get caught napping. García fired another strike back across the diamond to get Holmes by at least five feet for the inning-ending double play.

 

Scott Sunitsch scattered seven hits and worked around three walks over five innings as he allowed one run before turning the 2-1 lead over to the bullpen heading into the bottom of the sixth.

 

Payton Henry doubled in the top of the seventh inning to start the frame, but he was left stranded as the Rattlers could not add to their lead. The bullpen made sure that missed opportunity did not hurt them.

 

Gabe Friese took over for Sunitsch and worked 2-2/3 innings without allowing a run. He left the game with a runner on first and two outs in the bottom of the eighth in favor of Robbie Hitt, who got the final out of the eighth.

 

Hitt retired the first two batters he faced in ninth before allowing an infield single to Jancarlos Cintron. Hitt closed out the game for his ninth save of the season by getting Tim Susnara to pop out to short.

 

In the second half, Western Division Wild Card race, the Cedar Rapids Kernels defeated the Beloit Snappers 5-2 at Beloit. The results on Saturday put the standings with Kane County at 36-31, the Rattlers are a half-game back at 36-32, and Beloit is two games behind the Cougars at 35-32. There are two games remaining in the regular season.

 

If the Timber Rattlers win the final two games of the series at Kane County, they will be in the playoffs.

 

Game two of the series is Sunday night. Wilfred Salaman (0-2, 7.13) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Mack Lemieux (4-10, 4.31) is set to start for the Cougars. Game time is 6:30pm.

I have my eye on Hummel and Carroll to break out in 2019. Hummel as a Mickey Tettleton-type bat, Carroll as another Cirillo.

Final: Helena 6, Missoula 5

 

Brewers Survive Late Osprey Attack

Helena Wins Fourth Straight, Now Three Back Of First Place

By Greg Mroz / Helena Brewers

 

 

Helena, MT - With their playoff lives hanging in the balance, the Helena Brewers came up with another big win tonight, surviving a late Missoula Osprey rally to win 6-5 in the series opener at Kindrick Legion Field. Justin Bullock went six innings of two run baseball for the win, while a three run fifth inning put Helena in front for good. Helena has now won four games in a row, tying their longest winning streak this season. The Brewers with the 7-0 loss by Billings in Great Falls now stand three games back of first with five to play.

 

Missoula struck for a run in the first thanks to an RBI double from Buddy Kennedy, but Helena fired right back as with one on and one out, Yeison Coca blasted a ball out of the yard to right for his third homer of the year.

 

The Osprey tied the game in the top of the fourth, as three straight Missoula batters reached base, capped off by an RBI single from Cesar Garcia. Yet the Brewers limited the damage, as Mike Alescio threw out Garcia stealing, and Bullock punched out David Sanchez to keep the game tied.

 

Still tied at two going into the bottom of the fifth, Helena retook the lead on the first pitch of the inning, as Jesus Lujano launched a ball over the right field wall for his first home run of the season, giving the Crew the 3-2 lead. The Brewers weren't done as Brice Turang tripled with one out and scored two batters later on a ground out from David Fry. Bryan Torres then singled up the middle, bringing home the third run of the inning and extending the lead to 5-2.

 

Bullock saved his best inning for last, as he struck out the side in order in the sixth, leaving the game with a career high nine strikeouts.

 

Helena added on a run in the seventh to make it a four run lead, but Missoula countered with two in the eighth, having the tying run at second with two out. Logan Gillaspie though got David Sanchez to ground out to end the inning. Missoula scored a run with one out in the ninth and had the tying run at first, but a strikeout and a ground out ended the game, giving Gillaspie his second save.

 

The Brewers look for their season best fifth win in a row tomorrow in their penultimate home game in franchise history. First pitch is at 1:05 PM, with Joel Pinto taking the ball for the Brewers.
