And here's a video report from WBAY on Lance.

Nashville -- VIDEO: Hunter Morris doubles in a run in Nashville's 6-5 win Thursday over New Orleans AUDIO: Hector Gomez hit an RBI single, breaking up the scoreless game, to help the Sounds beat the Cubs on Friday *** Huntsville (from Thursday's doubleheader) -- VIDEO: Nick Ramirez collects his second triple of Huntsville's 7-3 loss to Montgomery VIDEO: Greg Hopkins brings a run in with a double in Huntsville's 5-2 win over Montgomery

Final: Huntsville 9, @Montgomery 1 STARS RUN AWAY FROM BISCUITS LATE Montgomery, AL - Huntsville Stars righty Taylor Jungmann and Montgomery RHP Michael Colla were locked in a pitcher’s duel Friday night until the Stars pulled away late for a 9-1 victory at Riverwalk Stadium. The Stars guaranteed themselves a series victory over the Biscuits. It’s their fifth series win in the first six series of the season. With the game scoreless going into the fifth, the Stars got on the board first on a Kentrail Davis RBI single into right field scoring Jason Rogers. With the Stars leading 1-0, Huntsville took advantage of a costly Montgomery error in the sixth inning. With D’Vontrey Richardson at first base and with one out, Shawn Zarraga hit a groundball to shortstop Jake Hager. Hager threw to second baseman Ryan Brett to get the force out, however Brett dropped the ball. Rogers would then follow with an RBI single making it a 2-0 Stars lead. The Stars added to that lead with a Davis RBI triple and Zarraga also was able to score on a wild pitch. With the Stars leading 4-0 going into the bottom of the sixth, Jungmann allowed his only run of the night. Richie Shaffer produced an RBI double breaking up the shutout. Jungmann, who had lost his last three decisions, earned the victory by pitching six strong innings. He allowed just three hits with seven strikeouts. Jungmann improved to 2-3 on the year. The Stars added some extra run support late in the game. In the eighth, they took advantage of control issues by the Biscuits bullpen. With the bases loaded and one out, Greg Hopkins reached base on a fielder’s choice scoring Rogers. The Stars then got back to back bases loaded walks to Josh Prince and Richardson. With the Stars leading 7-1, Nick Ramirez followed with a two-run single giving the Stars a 9-1 advantage. Colla (1-4), who suffered the loss, went six innings giving up seven hits on two earned runs with five strikeouts. Rogers finished 3-4 with an RBI with Davis going 2-4 with 2 RBI. The Stars improved to 18-11 with the win. The Stars lead the Biscuits 3-1 in their five game series and wrap it up Saturday night. LHP Brent Suter (3-1, 1.80) goes for the Stars. Montgomery will start RHP Matt Neil(1-0, 4.76) The game can be heard starting at 6:20 PM CT with Steve Jarnicki on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM, and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Click on Taylor Jungmann's MiLB Player Page, and you'll see that only one of his six starts has been poor, it'd be nice to see truly dominant (work past the 6th inning, limit the walks), though. Four Stars had multiple hits, including D'Vontrey Richardson, who reached base four times, and Jason Rogers, who doubled twice among his three base knocks. Kentrail Davis drove in two with two singles and a walk, and Mitch Haniger singled twice. Manager Carlos Subero threw blowout pinch-hitting bones to two minor league vets, Brock Kjeldgaard and Joey Paciorek, each who re-signed with Milwaukee as minor league free agents. Each has seen extremely limited action in the Brewers' quest to maximize wins at the upper levels in 2014. Huntsville Game Log Welcome back (we guess), Tim Dillard, ground ball inducement still working... Montgomery Bottom of the 8th Pitching Change: Tim Dillard replaces Casey Medlen. Taylor Motter grounds out, second baseman Josh Prince to first baseman Nick Ramirez. Curt Casali grounds out, third baseman Greg Hopkins to first baseman Nick Ramirez. Cameron Seitzer singles on a line drive to center fielder D' Vontrey Richardson. Richie Shaffer grounds out, shortstop Shea Vucinich to first baseman Nick Ramirez. Montgomery Bottom of the 9th Jake Hager grounds out to first baseman Nick Ramirez. Willie Argo grounds out, third baseman Greg Hopkins to first baseman Nick Ramirez. Luke Maile grounds out, third baseman Greg Hopkins to first baseman Nick Ramirez.

Wrapping up the Bill Michaels audio from the stadium today, here's player/coach Lance Roenicke.

AUDIO via Jeff Hem's blog -- "Tonight’s interview is with Rick Tomlin, the minor league pitching coordinator for the Sounds’ parent-club Milwaukee Brewers. He discusses Mike Fiers’ dominance so far this season and the “Tommy John” elbow surgery for Johnny Hellweg and what the Brewers as an organization try to do to minimize and prevent such injuries." Another worthwhile listen, I've said it before, but there is certainly a future role on the major league broadcast level for Jeff. His eight-to-ten minute interviews never seem drawn out unnecessarily, always move along nicely.

It has now been coordinated that brewerfan.net now automatically redirects to forum.brewerfan.net. Here's Google as an example. If for some reason, you want to reach the old home page, you just need to click on the Brewerfan banner at the top of any forum page. So you can now tell your friends and family you're a big Brewerfan.net guy (or gal), send them the link, and they won't see the four-year-old Shea Vucinich article first thing (nothing personal, Shea). *** This all came about because of concern about the outdated home page content. I posted this in our issues forum over a year ago: The 12-year-old coding served its purpose in 2001, but is now tired and certain site functions are now corrupt or obsolete. "Brewerfan.net, in its 2013 and future form, really exists solely as an outstanding, well-moderated forum discussing all things Brewers by some of the most dedicated and knowledgeable fans around. We'd love for you to join in the conversation..."

To put the Tim Dillard signing in perspective, and in particular his assignment to Huntsville, Steve Jarnicki, Stars' broadcaster, points out that Dillard first appeared in Huntsville in 2006. *** 2006!!

AUDIO - Voice of the Timber Rattlers, Chris Mehring, was on as well

Several sources tweeted this news, Adam McCalvy included some numbers, so we copy his tweets here: Mike Fiers named Brewers Minor League Pitcher of the Month (5 GS, 5-0, 0.80 ERA, 33.2 IP, 3 ER, 3 BB, 47 K .160 opponent batting average). Clint Coulter named Brewers Minor League Player of the Month (.324, 24-74, 4 HR, 17 RBI).
