Wisconsin led 6-0, 7-1, 8-4 and 10-7, but Beloit ultimately took the lead in the bottom of the 7th. That first inning included homers by Luis Castillo (20th) and Tayden Hall (13th).

Wilson conceded 8 runs in the first inning, in a frame that included 4 hits, 3 walks, 4 errors, 2 wild pitches and a passed ball. Dariel Jaquez faced just 6 batters (throwing 36 pitches) before exiting with the team down 3-0 with 2 outs, so Eric Prado finished the inning but required 7 batters to do so.

SS Brady Ebel (last played on August 25) returns after a recent concussion, as Wisconsin aim to take a 3-1 series lead at Beloit. LHP Andrew Healy (5.71 ERA with 15 Ks in 17.1 High-A IP) gets the start.

19-year old RHP Dariel Jaquez (9.00 ERA, 2.50 WHIP, 8.4 K/9 in 28 ACL IP) makes his Low-A debut as Wilson search for a win at Fredericksburg to snap that 9-game losing streak. DH/C Rylan Mills has 5 homers and 9 RBIs over his last 7 games.

1B Andrew Fischer remains the big story for AA Biloxi, as he’s 10-for-26 with 6 homers over his last 8 games. They lead Birmingham 2 games to 1 in their home series and send RHP Jaron DeBerry (15.2 IP, 7 R (2 ER), 22 Ks over last 3 starts) out to start tonight.

The AAA Sounds shoot for a series-clinching 4th straight home win over Louisville behind RHP Tyson Hardin (8 IP, 2 R, 12 Ks over last 2 outings). 3B Ethan Murray has a 17-game on-base streak.

He’s been outplaying his $50k singing bonus, though I wish he’d been able to knock this ball down.

When Wilson wins tonight, I bet he’ll change it

Wisconsin was short-staffed in defeat, while Wilson conceded many two-out runs in their loss.

OF Akil Baddoo’s three-run blast in the following frame registered at 106.3 MPH, giving Nashville the only lead it would require behind a strong bullpen effort. Prior to that blast, OF Brandon Lockridge (1-for-4, walk, 2 RBIs) and 2B Ethan Murray (1-for-3, double, HBP, RBI) had come through with clutch two-out hits to keep the Sounds in the game. RHP Kaleb Bowman, RHP Blake Holub (1 IP, 0 R, 2 Ks), LHP Jared Koenig (1 IP, 0 R, 0 Ks) and RHP Cameron Wagoner (1 IP, 0 R, 1 K) shut Louisville out over the final four frames, with Bowman bouncing back after allowing three runs in the 5th inning, including a two-run shot to old friend Orlando Arcia. In the 9th inning, a two-out infield single and stolen base gave Louisville a chance against Wagoner, but he struck out Noelvi Marte on five pitches to preserve the victory. Every Nashville batter collected at least one base knock, as the squad out-hit the Bats 11-8, with 3B Brock Wilken (2-for-5, double) and C Andrick Nava (2-for-4, RBI in his first game since August 1) leading the way. Each of Wilken, Nava, Lockridge, Murray, 1B Blake Burke (1-for-3, triple, walk) and SS Jonathan Ornelas (1-for-3, walk) reached base twice. Sounds’ Extras: RHP Carlos Rodriguez (2 IP, 3 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks) got the short start and RHP Brandon Sproat (2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 2 Ks) tossed two scoreless frames, with Sproat doing a better job of getting out of trouble. The game started after a 31-minute rain delay. Louisville coach Peterson Plaz must have been determined to exit on schedule, as he was ejected in the 4th inning after Sproat picked off a baserunner. Koenig’s first six sinkers topped out at 91.6 MPH, but his last two sinkers reached 93.4 and 93.1. Friday’s outlook: RHP Tyson Hardin gets the chance to deliver Nashville a fourth consecutive victory at Louisville, which would clinch the series for the Sounds. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Birmingham (White Sox) 3, Biloxi 2 Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Letson Ties Career High with 9 Strikeouts, Fischer Blasts Homer in Shuckers Loss - Fischer pulls into tie for the 8th-most home runs in a season in Minor League Baseball’s Modern Era After back-to-back one-run victories at home, Biloxi found itself on the opposite side of the ledger in this nail-biter, but starting RHP Bishop Letson (4 2/3 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 4 BB, 9 Ks) and 1B Andrew Fischer (1-for-3, HR, 2 walks, 2 RBIs) reinforced their prospect pedigree. The Shuckers out-hit their opponents 7-5 and had fewer errors (2 vs. 1), but a 1-for-10 evening with runners in scoring position led to 12 stranded baserunners, including at least one every inning from the 2nd through the 9th frames. Fischer was thrown out trying to go from 1st to 3rd to end the 7th inning, while pinch runner Dylan O’Rae was gunned down at home on an infield grounder in the 8th inning. Shuckers’ Extras: RHP Ryan Birchard struck out 3 of 5 batters faced but conceded the game-winning run in the top of the 9th inning, done in by a walk, stolen base, infield single to the catcher and run-scoring wild pitch. DH Mike Boeve (1-for-1, 3 walks) reached base four times, while each of C Matt Wood (2-for-4), OF Braylon Payne (1-for-4, walk), OF Josh Adamczewski (1-for-4, walk) and OF Damon Keith (1-for-3, double, walk) came aboard twice. Middle relievers LHP Jesus Broca (1 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K) and RHP Travis Smith (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks) were solid, including Broca stranding two baserunners inherited from Letson in the 5th inning. Friday’s outlook: RHP Jaron DeBerry is the scheduled starter, as Biloxi seeks a 3-1 home series advantage with a victory. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Beloit (Marlins) 4, Wisconsin 1 Box Score Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Beloit Snaps Rattlers Winning Streak Wisconsin’s staff, including position player Luiyin Alastre (2 IP, 0 R, 1 K in relief), helped overcome the late scratch of scheduled starter Jayden Dubanewicz, but the offense came up short on Thursday. Unfortunately, another concern arose in the bottom of the 6th inning, when LHP Bjorn Johnson exited after facing just two batters. Johnson, who’s been dominant since mid-May (1.31 ERA with 26 Ks in prior 20 2/3 IP), had pitched two innings two days prior. While both teams struggled with runners in scoring position (Wisconsin 2-for-10, 12 stranded; Beloit 2-for-11, 10 stranded), the Sky Carp’s four extra base hits were critical (vs. one for Wisconsin). RHP Joshua Quezada (2 1/3 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks) was a standout performer for the Timber Rattlers, stranding two baserunners for spot starter RHP Chandler Welch (2 2/3 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 4 BB, 1 HBP, 3 Ks) and striking out 6 of 8 batters faced. Welch had reached a season-high 71 pitches before coming out in the third inning. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: 1B Tayden Hall (2-for-4, double) had a multi-hit game and the team’s only extra-base hit, but he also flew out with the bases load to end the top of the 7th inning. DH Daniel Dickinson joined him with two hits (2-for-4, walk), while stealing his 56th base. Similar to Johnson, RHP Tanner Perry (2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 Ks) had also thrown two innings two days prior, but he got the call to finish out Johnson’s inning before giving way to Alastre for the final two frames. Leading 4-1 as they prepared to face position player Alastre for a second frame, Sky Carp hitting coach Michael Ryan was ejected to start the bottom of the 8th inning. Friday’s outlook: LHP Andrew Healy gets the start, as Wisconsin seeks to boost their series lead to 3 games to 1. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 7, Wilson 3 Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Warbirds Beaten by Nationals After Big Seventh Inning - Mills Stays Hot with Homer The squad battled valiantly for six innings, grabbing a 1st inning lead on C Rylan Mills’ two-run blast, then knotting the contest 3-3 on 2B Moises Polanco’s two-out RBI single in the 6th inning. Starting RHP Luke Roupe (4 IP, 3 R, 4 H, 4 BB, 4 Ks) was solid through three innings but conceded two runs while trying to get the final out of the 4th inning. RHP Diustin Mayorquin (2 2/3 IP, 4 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks) then emulated him by retiring the first six batters he faced in relief, only to issue three consecutive walks (and four runs) while attempting to get the last out of the 7th inning. That’s now nine consecutive losses for Wilson, with three games remaining on their inaugural baseball campaign, as they struggle to hang onto their well-earned winning record (now 64-63 on the season). Warbirds’ Extras: Hitting 9th, Polanco (2-for-4, RBI) was the team’s only player to register a multi-hit game, though each of OF Pedro Ibarguen (1-for-2, 2 walks), Mills (1-for-4, HR, walk, 2 RBIs), DH Kevin Garcia (1-for-3, walk) and SS Filippo Di Turi (1-for-4, HBP) reached base at least twice. RHP Andrew Gaines came in with a bang (first pitch HBP) but ultimately put up a good line in relief: 1 1/3 IP, 0 R, 2 Ks. SS Trey Ebel was out of the lineup for the second consecutive game, while OF Handelfry Encarnacion missed his fifth straight contest. Hopefully they’ll both return to action before Wilson’s season ends this Sunday. Friday’s outlook: 19-year-old RHP Dariel Jaquez (9.00 ERA with 26 Ks in 28 ACL innings) is slated to make his Low-A debut, as Wilson need a win to snap their nine-game skid.

Chandler Welch just reached 71 pitches in the bottom of the 3rd inning, his highest pitch count of 2026. Gotta pull him, trailing 2-0 with runners on the corners and 2 outs.

Rylan Mills is cementing his case to start next season at High-A Wisconsin and also join the top 30 prospect list.

The High-A Timber Rattlers look to grab a 3-0 series lead at Beloit behind RHP Chandler Welch (also a surprise starter, as Jayden Dubanewicz was expected). CF Sawyer Strosnider has a 13-game on-base streak.

AAA Nashville are coming off two straight 1-run home victories over Louisville and give RHP Carlos Rodriguez (7.92 ERA in 44.1 IP) a surprise start tonight (Brandon Sproat was expected). C Andrick Nava gets his first game action since August 1.

20-year old RHP Luke Roupe (9.55 ERA, 2.18 WHIP. 7.1 K/9 in 33 IP) gets the start for Low-A Wilson, who’ve dropped 8 consecutive games. CF Kyle Jones’ hitting streak is now 10 games. INF Trey Ebel (2nd game) and OF Handelfry Encarnacion (5th game) are out of the lineup again.

AA Biloxi have won back-to-back 1-run home games over Birmingham and send 21-year old RHP Bishop Letson (5 IP, 1 R, 5 Ks last week) to the hill tonight. 1B Andrew Fischer is 9-for-23 with 5 HR and 12 RBIs over his last 7 games.

So that means that Wilson, who’ve lost 8 in a row, need to split their last 4 games (2-2) to hold onto a winning record this season or go 1-3 to finish .500.

Yeah, from All Star in 2023 (great first half) to a minor league contract as a AAAA player with the Twins in January 2026 (63 games in minors, 19 in majors), released in late July, spent a little time in the Mexican League (just 3 games), then signed a new minor league deal with the Reds on September 1.

Who else but Jesus Made to walk it off:

Down to their final out, Mike Boeve walked, pinch runner Dylan O’Rae stole second base and Damon Keith brought him home to send it to extras:

Damon Keith is finding his stroke again after an injury stole the middle third of his 2026 campaign:

Josh Adamczewski adds on to the early Shuckers’ lead, his first homer since August 6:

20-year old RHP Miqueas Mercedes has been on a roll (0.89 ERA with 36 Ks in last 40.1 IP) and now makes his High-A debut for Wisconsin at Beloit. The squad won yesterday on CF Sawyer Strosnider’s late 2-run homer. Strosnider has a 7-game hitting streak.

The AA Shuckers won a 1-run home nail-biter over Birmingham yesterday, during which Andrew Fischer blasted his minor league-leading 43rd homer. Tonight, RHP Manuel Rodriguez (4.76 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 7.7 K/9 in 119 IP) gets the start. DH/INF Luis Pena (13-game on-base streak) is back in the starting lineup after being a late scratch yesterday.
