There's no getting around it: the last week of Brewers Minor League baseball has been a rough one so far. The T-Rats couldn't muster any meaningful early hits with ample runners on base and in scoring position. This backfired when their bullpen arms had an uncharacteristically poor night. They fell 9-4 and their season ended with a 1-2 Championship Series defeat to Lake County. The Sounds led both games late and lost both leads and, consequently, both games. Thank the baseball gods the Brewers clinched and walked off the Phillies. Let's get into the report!

Because this particular Link Report edition needs to be much less wordy than the norm (thanks for understanding), I will doubly remind you to take full advantage of the details within the four official game summaries, and please do check out our Friday night forum thread for additional insights, 

Chad Patrick and Will Rudy were solid in victories for Nashville and Wisconsin, while Lamar Sparks and Luis Castillo helped power Biloxi and Carolina to Sunday wins as part of a 4-0 sweep.
