WSSP Audio -- Brewers Director of Amateur Scouting Bruce Seid Joins Chuck & Wickett

Offensive Barrage Sinks Stars By Alex Cohen / Huntsville Stars A night after being shutdown by Taylor Jungmann, the Montgomery Biscuits offense scored 12 unanswered runs and broke out for a season-high 19 hits en route to a 13-2 victory against the Huntsville Stars on Monday night at Riverwalk Stadium. Surprisingly, it was the Huntsville offense who struck first. With two outs in the top of the second inning, Stars outfielder Brock Kjeldgaard launched a fastball by Biscuts starting pitcher Michael Colla well over the center-field wall to give Huntsville a 1-0 lead (audio). For Kjeldgaard, the blast was his team-leading 11th homer of the season. Unfortunately for the Stars, the rest of the game belonged to the team residing in the home clubhouse. After an RBI single from outfielder Kevin Kiermaier tied up the game in the third inning, an RBI single from second baseman Robby Price in the fourth gave the Biscuits the lead for good. However, the offensive barrage did not begin until the next frame. Over the course of the next two innings, the Biscuts would bat around twice and score a combined 10 runs to put the game out of reach. In the fifth inning, a two-run homer from Kiermaier and an RBI double by first baseman Cameron Seitzer ended the night of Stars starting pitcher Arcenio Leon (L, 1-5) with nobody out with two runners on. With lefty Brian Garman in the game, an RBI single from designated hitter Kyeong Kong gave the Biscuits a 6-1 lead. With righty Brooks Hall on the mound for the Stars in the sixth inning, the Biscuits welcomed him into the game pair on solo homers from catcher Mark Thomas and Kang as well as a two-run blast from right fielder Todd Glaesmann. The homers for Kang and Glaesmann were in back-to-back at-bats. Aside from serving up the longballs, Hall also balked a runner home and gave up an RBI single to Seitzer to give the Biscuits six runs in the inning. An RBI groundout by third basemen Riccio Torrez gave Montgomery their 13th and final run of the contest in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Stars tacked on their only other run in the top of eighth on an RBI groundout from outfielder Rene Tosoni. For the Huntsville pitching staff, the four homers and 19 hits for the Biscuits were the most they have given up in a single game this year. The loss for the Stars clinches their second consecutive series defeat. On Tuesday, the Stars will wrap up their five-game series at Riverwalk Stadium against the Montgomery Biscuits. Huntsville will send RHP Andy Moye (3-6, 4.10 ERA) to the bump as Montgomery will counter with LHP Enny Romero (4-2, 3.08 ERA). First pitch is at 7:05 CT.

Veteran reliever Clay Hensley has been released after only four appearances with the Sounds.

Check out the FSL standings -- Manatees have six games left in the first half, three before this weekend's All-Star break, three after.

Just confirmed with the Brewers that their Maryvale games will all be 7:00 Phoenix time. MiLB.com still lists TBA for their times. I'll get them each day either way, whether I'm up late or more likely, very early in the AM. I've got a note in to someone regarding Helena coverage, hoping it comes through. You'll know soon. As always, you can attempt to trade with each other at any time. You guys are awesome, thanks again.

19-year-old DSL 3B Sthervin Matos, who raked (relatively speaking for DSL numbers) two years ago but was sidelined by a torn knee meniscus for much of 2012, also has been idle for a while, having last played last Tuesday.

All Dominican Summer League middle infielders, all making their pro debuts over the past week -- 17-year-old switch-hitting SS Daniel Leonardo is sporting a .360 / .500 / .480 line after eight games. 18-year-old 2B Jorge Quiterio, a RH bat, at .389 / .522 / .500 after his first 18 AB's (hits in all five games). 19-year-old 2B / SS Gregory Munoz, a LH bat, is only 6-for-9 with a .667 / .750 / .889 line (1.639 OPS) after his first three pro games. Sweet!

Rattlers announcement details the week

Via Jeff Hem's blog -- Audio from Nashville — “Mondays with Mike (Guerrero)” Here is this week’s installment of Mondays with Mike with Sounds manager Mike Guerrero, who discusses the team’s 4-4 record on the recent trip, including a winning series in Memphis, the recent dominance by the starting rotation (1.89 ERA in last 15 games), the emergence of Hainley Statia as lead-off hitter since Scooter Gennett’s promotion to the major leagues, the placement of Hunter Morris in the batting lineup and the team’s preparation for pair of doubleheaders in a four-day span next week in Iowa.

So cool the Brewers had Craig Counsell call this young man -- *** From Bay to the Brewers: Charlie Markson Gets Drafted by Jeff Rumage, Whitefish Bay Patch After a nerve-racking weekend of watching the baseball draft, Whitefish Bay's Charlie Markson was relieved to hear that he was not only drafted – but drafted by his hometown Milwaukee Brewers. He was at his cousin's graduation party when he learned that he was drafted in the 38th round to play for a minor league Brewers team in Helena, MT. Shortly after his agent called, he received a phone call from Craig Counsell – a Whitefish Bay resident who also grew up as a Blue Duke and played for Notre Dame. Although he has followed Counsell's career path up to this point, Markson is now blazing his own trail with the Helena Brewers, where he will play for the rest of the summer. "I just wanted to have an opportunity to play, and when I found out it was the Brewers, I couldn’t have been any happier," he said. "It couldn't have happened at a better time because all of my family was already at the graduation party. They were overcome with joy." Markson, a lifelong Brewers fan, said he hopes his career takes a similar course as Counsell's - although he recognizes it is going to take some hard work if he wants to end up graduating from the minor leagues and playing at Miller Park someday. In Helena, he will play alongside other players who were recently drafted. The team is specifically designed with a 78-game season, instead of the traditional 148-game season. After the end of this season, he plans to come back and train in Milwaukee before returning for spring training in February or March. He hopes to eventually work his way up in the Brewers organization. Markson batted .252 in his Notre Dame career, with a top mark of .303 as a junior. He drove in 21 runs this season and was second on the team with 11 stolen bases, though he batted just .209. Markson was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 44th round back in 2009 out of high school, but chose instead to go to Notre Dame. Although he's been at Notre Dame the last several years, Markson has never forgotten about his Whitefish Bay roots. Last summer, he came home to play for the Lakeshore Chinooks, and this summer, he's been helping out his former coach Jay Wojcinski in coaching the Blue Dukes baseball team. If he wasn't drafted Saturday,Markson said he was either going to continue coaching at Whitefish Bay, pursue other baseball opportunities or enter the business world. "My life was kind of up in the air, but on Saturday, everything fell into place," he said. PHOTOS at link above.

Blaski to MWL All-Star Team -- this corrects a big oversight, congratulations Austin!

Three Star Wars-themed Timber Rattlers Jerseys are up for auction - check 'em out

TampaBay.com Link: Not surprising, since he's not 18 until next week -- Neuhaus to begin at Maryvale. Also strongly suggested here they'll move him to third base.

Actually, if you review the Sounds roster, they're now at 26 (Narveson doesn't count). So they get a day or two until Tyler Thornburg has to officially report, but will have to make a move (likely a pitcher) when he does today or tomorrow.

We realize there is a bunch of news (tweets) regarding additional draft pick signings and/or current extended spring training players discussing their Helena assignments. We'll wait for the Brewers to release official updates before noting the moves here. We'll also kick off the annual "Your Helena / Maryvale Brewers" thread for 2013 shortly. Helena kicks things off at Missoula Thursday the 20th, Maryvale at the Dodgers' complex the same day.

We'll post the Rattlers' Media Announcement later on, but congratulations to Tyrone Taylor (stats), the Midwest League's Player of the Week!
