Rattler Radio Blog -- Entertaining postgame post

Mondesi Jr.’s walk-off RBI lifts Brewers in 10 Helena Independent Record Raul Mondesi Jr. ripped a walk-off RBI double to left field with one out in the 10th inning, and the Helena Brewers snapped a five-game Pioneer League losing streak with a thrilling 9-8 home win over the Orem Owlz on Monday night. Helena’s Renaldo Jenkins drew a leadoff walk from Orem’s Joseph Krehbiel to start the bottom of the 10th, and then advanced to second off a balk from Krehbiel before Ruben Ozuna struck out swinging and Mondesi Jr. came up clutch. In a game that featured 12 hits and shaky pitching from both teams, Connor Whalen was a calming presence for the Brewers as he allowed just two hits, no runs and struck out one in 2.2 innings of work for his first win of the year. Brewers starter Tyler Wagner and Owlz starter Nataniel Rodriguez lasted a combined six innings and allowed 10 hits, eight runs and six walks between them. Mondesi Jr. was 2 for 5 with a pair of RBIs, and Alfredo Rodriguez was 2 for 3 with three RBIs to lead Helena. Orem’s Zac Livingston was 2 for 3 with three RBIs, all of which came on a fourth-inning homer that got his team within 7-6.

Brewers oust Owlz Helena Brewers For six and a half innings on Monday it appeared as though the Orem Owlz would escape Helena with a sweep and hand the Brewers their fifth straight loss. However, from the bottom of the seventh on the Brewers looked like a whole new baseball team and grabbed a 9-8 victory in ten innings. When Joe Andrade stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh the Brewers trailed the Owlz 7-2. Andrade then drew a leadoff walk and after Renaldo Jenkins flied out, Ruben Ozuna singled. It was at that point that the Brewers successfully completed a double steal as Raul Mondesi Jr. went down on strikes. Following the double steal, outfielder Jose Pena doubled to right field knocking in Ozuna. Paul Eshleman then struck out, but due to a wild pitch was able to reach first putting runners on the corners. First baseman Adam Giacalone would then draw a walk to load the bases for shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who has not been retired when batting with the bases loaded, delivered and the Brewers cut the lead to one entering the bottom of the seventh. After the Owlz took one run back, the Brewers responded with another in the bottom of the eighth and eventually would enter the bottom of the ninth trailing 8-7. Down to just two outs, after Pena struck out to begin the frame, Eshleman doubled to centerfield. This created a scenario in which once again Rodriguez could be the hero. The University of Maryland product again delivered and knocked in pinch runner Andres Martinez to send the game into extra innings. After the Brewers escaped a bases loaded jam in the top of the tenth, the Brewers came to bat needing one run to send a season high 1903 fans home happy. It was at that point Jenkins, who had just flown into Helena hours before, drew a lead off walk. Thanks to a balk by Owlz reliever Joey Krehbiel, Jenkins stood 180 feet from home with no outs and Ozuna at the plate. Ozuna would go down on strikes, but teammate Mondesi Jr. would lift him up with a game winning RBI double to left field. The win pushes Helena's record to 21-45 on the season, while the loss drops Orem to 33-33. The Brewers return home on September 3, when the Billings Mustangs come to town to begin the final home stand of the 2012 season. Despite a base running blunder in the bottom of the 8th, the Brewers walked off with victory on Monday. (Sleeping Giant Photography) http://www.milb.com/images/2012/08/28/qyNtGInU.jpg

Huntsville Stars drop 9-5 decision to Birmingham By Mark McCarter, The Huntsville Times HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- What had been obvious, but not official until Monday, is that the Stars are out of the playoffs and won't finish above .500. That was assured Monday night with their 9-5 loss to Birmingham, putting Huntsville at 63-71 on the season with six games to play. Coupled with Chattanooga's win over Jackson, they are now seven games behind Chattanooga for what could be a potential wild-card spot. Huntsville, which ends its home season Tuesday at 6:43 against Birmingham, could still influence one pennant race. It ends the season with five games at Montgomery, which is dueling Jacksonville for a Southern League South playoff spot. The Suns won their fourth in a row over the Biscuits Monday, giving them a one-game lead in the division. The Barons are 61-72 on the season and already out of postseason contention. Though Scooter Gennett's solo homer and Josh Prince's three-run homer tried to keep the Huntsville offense in Monday's game, starter Evan Anundsen gave up six runs and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. Reliever Brian Garman yielded two hits -- one of them allowing two of Anundsen's runners to score -- then Tim Dillard gave up two runs in two innings and Josh Butler another run, on three hits, in the Birmingham eighth. Andy Wilkins had four hits and Brady Shoemaker at homer for the Barons, who have won nine of their last 11 against the Stars. Hunter Morris went 0-for-4, making him 8-for-36 in the past two series, a cooling off with poor timing; deadline for the Southern League MVP, for which he should be a favorite, is Wednesday The Stars haven't reached the playoffs since 2009 and haven't finished about .500 since 2008. In the 14 years of Huntsville's affiliation with Milwaukee, the Stars have finished above .500 only five times. The Brewers made a head-scratching move on Monday. With a mere eight games remaining on Nashville's schedule, they demoted Dillard - who first pitched in Huntsville in 2006 - to the Stars. Dillard is a Nashville resident and had a chance to become the Sounds' all-time winning pitcher over the coming week. To pinpoint one source of the Stars' inconsistency was the constant movement of players. Dillard became the 30th pitcher to see action for Huntsville this season when he entered in the sixth inning.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The Milwaukee Brewers and Huntsville Stars have made a roster move prior to tonight’s game against the Birmingham Barons. RHP Tim Dillard has been transferred from Triple-A Nashville to Huntsville. Dillard started the season with the Brewers, going 0-2 with a 4.38 ERA (37 IP / 18 ER) in 34 appearances. In 14 games with the Sounds, the righty went 1-1 with a 9.42 ERA (14.1 IP / 15 ER). The 29-year-old was last with Huntsville during the 2006 season, compiling a 10-7 record with a 3.15 ERA in 29 games (25 starts). With these moves, the Stars active roster is at 25, two others (Scarpetta, Lamontagne) on the DL. *** So not only is Dillard a Nashville resident as the Sounds wrap up the season with an eight-game homestand, but now he won't get a chance to become the Sounds' all-time win leader (currently tied for first).

Caleb Gindl Named PCL Batter Of The Week Outfielder Led League In Hits, RBIs While Batting .533 In Seven Games Nashville Sounds MULTIPLE GINDL AUDIO HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WEEK AT LINK ABOVE NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Nashville Sounds outfielder Caleb Gindl has been named the Pacific Coast League's Batter of the Week for the August 20-26 period. The 23-year-old posted a .533 average (16-for-30) with a league-leading 10 RBIs in seven games over the seven-day span. Gindl rapped eight of his league-high 16 hits for extra bases during the week (five doubles, one triple, two home runs). Gindl, who recorded five multiple-hit efforts and hit safely in six of the seven games, set several season highs during the week. On Tuesday at Omaha, he clubbed a pair of homers, just his second career multi-homer effort, and became the first Nashville player to record four RBIs in a game this season. On Friday at Round Rock, he went a season-best 4-for-4 and legged out a Sounds season-high three doubles. On Sunday at The Dell Diamond, he drove in three runs while finishing a homer short of the cycle (3-for-5). Overall, Gindl has batted .263 with a team-high 27 doubles and ranks second on the club with 11 home runs and 49 RBIs in 122 games for Nashville this season, his second straight campaign at the Triple-A level. He leads the Sounds with 185 total bases entering tonight's action. Gindl's award is the third accumulated by a Sounds player during the 2012 season, following infielder Brooks Conrad (May 21-27) and starting pitcher Wily Peralta (July 2-8). The award is the third weekly honor of Gindl's six-year career. He was previously honored by the Florida State League in April 2009 and by the South Atlantic League in August 2008. Gindl and the Sounds begin their final homestand of the season tonight at Greer Stadium, where they'll host the division-rival Iowa Cubs in the 7:05 p.m. opener of a four-game series.

Bill Mitchell on Maryvale RHP Austin Hall -- (stats)

Alec on Peralta

Young Adrian Williams' quick affiliate tour ends where it started as the infielder is transferred back to Wisconsin from Huntsville (where he failed to get into a game after a brief Nashville stint). Unfortunately, infielder Greg Hopkins hits the Rattlers' DL with an undisclosed injury.

Renaldo Jenkins (stats), the 19-year-old 2011 19th round Georgia high schooler, gets a much-deserved bump from Maryvale to Helena for the H-Crew's final 11 games.
