Brewers put it all together for home win by Amber Kuehn, Helena Independent Record You know those days where it seems like everything is going your way? It was that kind of night for the Helena Brewers. The Brewers executed a hit-and-run, a suicide squeeze and stole a base, displaying the team speed manager Tony Diggs has been talking about. Helena’s pitchers had another solid night, and the offense pounded out 11 hits against a struggling Great Falls squad. The end result Tuesday was a 3-1 victory by the home team at Kindrick Legion Field, as the Brewers handed the reeling Voyagers their fifth straight defeat and ended a two-game skid of their own. It was also redemption for last week, when Great Falls swept Helena here. “We’ve kind of struggled at home, so it’s good to get a win,” said Helena left fielder Mitch Meyer. It was another phenomenal outing by the Brewers pitching staff. Starter J.B. Kole didn’t give up a hit until the fourth inning, and Josh Uhen and Zach Hirsch pitched five frames of shutout ball in relief to earn the win and the save, respectively. Helena is now 4-0 when the bullpen doesn’t allow a run. “J.B. did a good job starting us off,” Diggs said. “He established his fastball early, and that’s what we’ve been preaching to these guys.” Kole retired nine straight Voyagers batters at one point, but gave up three singles and a run in the fourth inning to end his evening. Uhen and Hirsch were superb in relief, combining for seven strikeouts. Hirsch, a 19th-round pick out of Nebraska, said it was one of those games where every pitch he threw seemed to be spot on. He also credited the defense behind him, as well as his catcher, Greg McCall. “Greg called a great game,” said the southpaw, who has so far given up just one hit in his professional career. McCall saw his five-game hitting streak come to an end, but his teammates more than made up for it. First baseman Dustin DeMuth was 3-for-4 with a run scored, Eric Williams was 2 for 4 and Luis Aviles went 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI triple. Aviles’ triple in the second inning bounced off the wall in right-center field to score Williams all the way from first, putting the hosts on the scoreboard early. Helena hung three more hits on Voyagers starter Zach Thompson in the third inning, and Elvis Rubio’s RBI single made it 2-0 Brewers. Jake Peter had an RBI single to trim Helena’s lead an inning later, but that was all the offense Great Falls could muster Tuesday. The Voyagers were just 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, as Brewers pitchers worked out of jam after jam, and second baseman Francisco Castillo always seemed to come up with one big defensive play after another. Desperately in need of an insurance run in the sixth to build some separation, DeMuth reached on a leadoff single. He then went to third on a two-base throwing error by center fielder Chevy Clarke. Then with one out, Williams laid down a beautiful suicide-squeeze bunt that just barely stayed fair to score DeMuth for the final run. It looked as though the ball would cross the chalk, but it stopped just inches away from rolling foul, much to Williams’ relief. The Brewers right fielder clapped his hands with excitement when the umpire signaled it was fair. “He executed it perfectly,” Diggs said after the game. DeMuth upped his Pioneer League-leading batting average to .444 with his big night. He said the entire team is seeing the ball well right now. “We’ve just gotta keep playing hard,” he said. “It’s just a matter of trying to attack fastballs early in the count.” The Brewers (7-8) will look to win back-to-back games when they again host the Voyagers (8-8) tonight at 7:05. Great Falls lefty Chris Freudenberg is scheduled to take the mound, while Chad Thompson will get the start for the Brewers.

From Monday's game, you heard this earlier, now watch: VIDEO: Nashville's Sean Halton slugs a solo homer as the Sounds beat Memphis, 9-4 *** Tuesday: Nashville trailed 3-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth when Jeremy Hermida jump started the Sounds' rally with a one-out solo home run. Hermida finished the game going 1-for-2 with a pair of walks. He has now reached base in 26 consecutive home games, the longest streak by any player in the PCL this season. AUDIO: Hermida's Home Run Following Hermida, seven straight Sounds batters reached base safely. Shawn Zarraga tied the game with an RBI single that scored Sean Halton. Hector Gomez then followed with an RBI double that gave the Sounds their first lead of the night at 4-3. AUDIO: Gomez's RBI Hit The big blow of the night then came off the bat of Pete Orr, who then knocked a two-run, pinch-hit triple. Orr is now hitting .362 with hits in 18 of his last 22 games.

Rattler Radio Blog - Late night for Chris, but here's the postgame audio, the day's photos (great uni's! -- what's the Rattlers' uniform budget each season?), and the video including the walk-off. *** More video highlights, these from the MyNew32 TV game broadcast.

Final: @AZL Mariners 4, AZL Brewers 1 Maryvale Box Score Although the A-Crew drew seven walks, 1B Juan Ortiz had their only base hit, a simple ground ball to center field in the 4th inning that led to nothing. Three K's apiece for Jake Gatewood (now with 18 in 39 AB's), Monte Harrison (13 in 32 AB's), and Carlos Belonis (12 in 34 AB's). Give 'em time. Harrison's OPS is .817 after his first nine pro games. Yunior Santana, the DH in this one, walked three times. Nice scoreless four-inning start for 22-year-old Lamar University LHP David Carver (great name for a pitcher). Maryvale Game Log Brewers on the board in the 3rd... AZL Brewers Top of the 3rd Yunior Santana walks. With Jonathan Oquendo batting, Yunior Santana steals (2) 2nd base. Jonathan Oquendo walks.

Final: @Mississippi 3, Huntsville 1 Stars Drop Close One In Mississippi Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Pearl, MS - The Huntsville Stars left twelve men on base Tuesday as the Mississippi Braves were able to hold off the Stars 3-1 Tuesday night at Trustmark Park in Pearl. The Stars had the bases loaded in three different innings, but were only able to score one run. Trailing 3-0 in the top of the seventh, with the bases loaded and nobody out, Nick Ramirez produced a sacrifice fly scoring Robinson Diaz making it 3-1. Lucas May, who hit into two inning ending double plays in the game, hit a soft grounder to second where Mississippi second baseman Gustavo Nunez turned a twin killing to end the seventh inning. May also lined into a double play in the top of the fifth inning with the bases loaded and one out. Mississippi scored in the bottom of the first against Huntsville starter Drew Gagnon. Cedric Hunter singled into centerfield scoring Nunez for a 1-0 lead. The Braves took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth. Barrett Kleinknecht tripled to right center where Stars CF D'Vontrey Richardson and RF Kentrail Davis collided on the dropped fly ball scoring Matt Kennelly. Daniel Castro also added a sacrifice fly. Gagnon (5-3), who suffered the loss turned in a quality start, his eighth of the season. Gagnon pitched six innings allowing three runs on seven hits. He also struck out seven. Ryne Harper (5-3) collected the win out of the Braves bullpen. Chasen Shreve who recorded the final five outs, which included four strikeouts, earned his fifth save. The Braves (8-5, 47-35) lead the Stars (7-7, 53-30) 2-1 in their five game series. Game four will be Wednesday. LHP Brent Suter (7-5, 3.53) will start for the Stars. Mississippi will have RHP Ryan Weber (2-2, 4.23) on the mound. The game can be heard starting at 6:45 pm CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Drew Gagnon did not walk a batter and struck out seven in his six innings, although he did plunk two. Always thought that should be incorporated into K-to-BB ratio, but then what's the acronym, K-to-HBPBB? D'Vontrey Richardson is 9-for-18 in his last five games (one walk, four K's) to sneak his OPS on the year over .600 (yes, tough season). Huntsville Game Log As noted, it's all about wasted opportunities here...

Cedar Rapids with Zack Granite in CF, joining Rock Shoulders, who faced the Manatees tonight, on the All-Flintstones team. Steve Stone's too easy, but bonus points for Jay Johnstone (I'm old).

Now teammates! April 6, 2012 box score (too bad no video) -- Erik Komatsu's first big league hit vs. Tim Dillard Thanks to Steve in Huntsville for the reminder. Just listened to the end of the Stars game, and thanks to some carefully timed rain delays in Appleton and Nashville, you can listen to the end of the Helena, Wisconsin, and Nashville games - enjoy the bouncearound (it's 10:25 Central).

AUDIO via Jeff Hem's blog -- "Tonight’s interview is with Sounds infielder and Ontario native Pete Orr, who discusses Canada Day, which commemorates July 1, 1867; his love for the Toronto Blue Jays when he was a kid; his and the team’s season to this point; and what a busy and unpredictable time of year this is for a Triple-A roster."

Helena SS Luis Aviles with his 10th error tonight early in his 14th game. You'll find his age 18 fielding numbers from 2013 in Maryvale as well at his Baseball Reference page.

RHP Kyle Heckathorn goes on the 7-day DL in what very well may be a stash/rest placement, although we can't say definitively. We're all day-to-day, right?
