We are back where we started featuring all four full-season affiliates on the daily. We give our thanks to the DSL and ACL squads for battling hard throughout the summer. Now we head down the home stretch. 

And, folks, it hasn't been easy watching these past two weeks - I'm simply being dead honest. The Mudcats, thankfully, led things off with a pull-away 9-4 victory. The T-Rats coughed one up in extras despite striking out the Loons 22 times and having 24 opportunities with RISP and have now suddenly lost four straight. The Shuckers were nearly shut out but saved some modicum of face with two ultimately meaningless runs in the ninth inning of an 8-2 loss. The Sounds were shut out 5-0 and never really threatened once. Let's, reluctantly, get into the report! 😅

Third base was arguably one of the biggest problem areas for the Brewers in 2023, with a combination of injuries and offensive inconsistency from Luis Urias and Brian Anderson leading to the emergence of Andruw Monasterio as a solid bench asset and the late-season acquisition of Josh Donaldson. Can the Crew get help at this position from the farm?

The ACL Brewers held on behind Brailin Rodriguez's solid relief work to win the ACL Championship 5-4, while Eduarqui Fernandez led a Wisconsin comeback win. The Sounds and Mudcats dropped their series finales and Biloxi was rained out.
