Seven Unanswered Runs Fuels Brewskis to Victory Over Durham - Baddoo Earns Second Straight 3-RBI Night; Wichrowski Tallies Second Win with Nashville

A day after Cooper Pratt hit his sixth home run of the season and first since May 20, Jett Williams hit his sixth home run of the season and his first since May 17! Maybe they’ve heard that the left-side of the Brewers’ infield could use some help. Williams led off the home half of the first inning with the 414-foot shot to left center at 100.5 MPH off the bat.

Akil Baddoo stayed hot with a triple and then, insurance runs with his second home run in as many days.

Luis Lara and Pratt each had one hit and each stole a base.

More video highlights:

Luis Lara singles on a ground ball to left, scoring Cooper Pratt

Brett Wichrowski earned his second win for Nashville but did not have the cleanest outing. Wichrowski had a particularly rough third inning giving up a lot of hard contact, with five batted balls having an exit velocity above 103 MPH, including two home runs and a double. Wichrowski did throw five innings, striking out six batters, while only walking one, to somewhat overcome his rough inning.

In his first outing since being optioned back to Nashville, Craig Yoho earned the save, pitching two perfect innings and striking out 4 batters.

Shuckers Split Twin Bill in Birmingham - Shuckers Score 14 in Game One, Fall Short in 8-Inning Game Two

Biloxi scored fifteen runs in fifteen total innings on Wednesday, while only giving up three total runs to Birmingham, but only managed to split the doubleheader and remain 1.5 games behind Birmingham in the standings.

Tanner Gillis completed six innings, surrendering only two hits and two walks while striking out four. It was the second consecutive start where Gillis pitched six innings.

Jesus Made was one of four Shuckers batters with multiple hits in the first game of the day going 2-5 with an RBI, a run and his 21st steal of the season. Mike Boeve had three hits.

Catcher Matthew Wood reached base twice in the first game, extending his on-base streak to a career high 21 games, and then promptly ended his new record there, failing to reach in game two.

The Shuckers only managed two total hits in the second game squandering strong outings from pitchers Anthony Flores and Jack Seppings. Flores pitched a season-high three innings and struck out five batters, also a highwater mark for this year.

Game Two's lone offensive highlight:

Game 2: Postponed

Fischer’s Decisive Blast sinks Loons 

Josh Knoth had a season high five strikeouts, while surrendering 3 hits and 2 walks over 3.2 innings as he continues to build his way back from Tommy John surgery. Garret Hodges and Yerlin Rodriguez completed the seven-inning shutout.

Third baseman Andrew Fischer hit his league leading 19th home run to give the T-Rats the lead. The home run and a walk extended Fischer’s on-base streak to 27 games, and pushed his OBP to .434, however with 79 strikeouts on the season already he is developing quite the Three True Outcomes profile.

Highly ranked prospects Josh Adamczewski and Marco Dinges each went 1-3, Juan Baez filling in at shortstop for Luis Pena had two hits, raising his average to just below the Mendoza Line.

Warbirds Use Longball to Bounce Back in Lynchburg - Anderson, Ebel Go Deep in Victory

Brady Ebel and Jose Anderson provided the fireworks for the Warbirds. Both batters made their one hit in five at-bats count with a pair of 2-run homers. Anderson hit his league leading fifteenth home run but now has 96 strikeouts in 202 at-bats!

Nineteen-year-old catcher Rylan Mils, another late round Brewers’ draft pick and overslot signing last season, had his first multi-hit game in A-ball, going 2-3 with a walk and his first stolen base of the season.

Rylan Mills lines an RBI single to left

Luis Lameda drives in two on a ground ball single to right

The Howlers outhit the Warbirds 12-7 on the night and plated three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning with Joshua Quezeda ending the attempted comeback and earning the save after entering with a two-run lead, runners on the corners and nobody out.
