A win in Quad Cities today would enable the High-A Timber Rattlers to tie the series 3-3. Talented 21-year old RHP Alexander Cornielle gets the his 2nd start of 2023 (4 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 Ks in first outing).

He hit another ding dong in the following game. What a series close for Carolina who move to 8-6 on the season.

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Ryan Middendorf is back to doing what he does: scoreless inning with punch outs in the bag. That's two more scoreless frames and 3 K. His second outing in a row we've come to expect after a couple hiccups to begin his campaign.

[Joseph Zarr]

The Sounds had tied it up at 2 apiece in the top of the 8th. AND, RHP Cam Robinson gave that run right back - he continues what has been an up-and-down struggle at Triple-A since his call up late last summer. Sounds now trail 3-2 with the top of the 9th to try and tie it up or take the lead.

That is what you call 'a rope'. Goodness. How long was that even in the air?

[Joseph Zarr]

And Mr. Chourrrrrrrrio just ripped a three-run double and the Shuckers now lead 7-3. Take that Brewers bullpen! Let the healing commence!

[wiguy94]

Chourio just turned on a 99 mph Ben Joyce FB and ripped a bases clearing double to the LF corner. Huge insurance runs. Biloxi up 7-3 in the top of the 9th now.

[wibadgers23]

Chourio starting to heat up? That would be nice!

[Joseph Zarr]

With the double header sweep today, Biloxi moves a crusty 1.0 games back those buttery Montgomery Biscuits (Tampa Bay).

We've had intriguing pitching highlights throughout the early going. The bats have been slow to get going in any consistent manner but there have definitely been some sparks. Hopefully, this is just the start of some consistency at the dish.

[Joseph Zarr]

This has been a rough  3-to-4 game stretch for INF Robert Moore in Quad City. He's actually looked quite rushed and a undisciplined at the plate which is something I'm not used to seeing - herky-jerky swings and his head leaving the hitting plane. He had a fantastic start to his season but it's worth noting: 1-for-15 over his last 4 games, 10 K, 2 BB, 1 2B, 1 R. He looks off by my eyes. Let's hope he hits the cages and re-discovers that smooth switch-hitting bat we've grown to love in any line-up.
