The High-A Timber Rattlers aim for a 5th consecutive win at Fort Wayne, with RHP Braylon Owens (6.10 ERA, 1.84 WHIP, 14.8 K/9 in 10.1 IP) getting today’s start. 19-year old CF Braylon Payne has 8 hits and 7 walks over his last 5 games, including 3 homers.

Adamczewski, Dinges, Fischer rewarded for Friday with days off, while Payne, Dickinson and Bitonti return.

No-hitter for Owens through four, broken up in the 5th but game still scoreless - 6 K's thus far

Owens looks like a hell of a find. If the stat line doesn’t jump out and get you excited, it’s worth noting he was placed in Wisconsin, a more aggressive assignment than where several college arms drafted ahead of him have started or are expected to start. That speaks volumes.

Braylon Payne with yet another HR. Line drive screamer to RF off a LHP. 2-4 day with a hustle double on a hard hit liner and the HR. Just an absurd start to the season for the kid.

If Braylon Payne is now a power hitter, feel like that changes things A LOT. His prospect status should be taking off with his tools.  

Swing and miss not exactly where you want, but not really out of control for his age.
