TWEET: They are.

Chiefs roll 9-3 while broadcasters follow by the book with complex, colorful systems You may remember a podcast we linked to earlier this season on this topic. The Peoria Journal-Star ran a modified printed version this AM.

Final: Peoria 9, Wisconsin 3 Rattlers Can’t Hold Early Lead in Peoria Chiefs rally from 3-0 deficit to beat Wisconsin 9-3 Chris Mehring, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers PEORIA, IL – The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers had a 3-0 lead against the Peoria Chiefs after the top of the fourth inning, but the Chiefs evened the score with three runs in the bottom of the fourth and eventually pulled away. Peoria went on to a 9-3 victory over Wisconsin Tuesday night at Dozer Park to earn a split in the four-game series. Mario Feliciano gave the Timber Rattlers (43-63 overall, 17-21 second half) a 1-0 lead with a two-out RBI single in the top of the first inning. Feliciano figured into the next Wisconsin rally, too. He drew a four-pitch walk from Peoria starting pitcher Frederis Parra. Ronnie Gideon was next and he took two straight outside the strike zone from Parra before launching his eleventh home run of the season to give the Timber Rattlers a 3-0 lead. Peoria (52-55, 21-17) rallied back to tie the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Danny Hudzina singled to start the inning and he was the final batter faced by Wisconsin starter Josh Pennington, who left on his pitch count. Rattlers reliever Nattino Diplan entered the game for Pennington and allowed a single to Juan Yepez before walking Dylan Carlson to load the bases. Mick Fennell drove in the first run with a ground out. Diplan threw a wild pitch to let Yepez score. A high chopper off the bat of JR Davis was enough to get Carlson in with the tying run. Carlos Herrera relieved Diplan to start the bottom of the sixth inning and hit Hudzina. A passed ball let Hudzina take second base. Herrera got the first out on a flyball to center, but Hudzina wound up at third on a ground out up the middle. Fennell gambled on a bunt and he just beat the throw to first to score Hudzina with the go-ahead run. The Chiefs added to their lead in the bottom of the seventh. Herrera got ahead of Nick Plummer with two quick strikes, but wound up walking the Chiefs leadoff batter. A hit batsman put two on with no outs. Vince Jackson was next and he sent a deep fly to center that was caught by Zach Clark. Both runners tagged, but Clark’s throw to second nailed that runner for an unlikely double play. However, the defensive gem became moot when Ryan McCarvel doubled to left to score Plummer. Peoria wasn’t done in the frame. Herrera walked Hudzina and gave up an RBI single to Yepez. Herrera left the game with a 3-1 count on Carlson. Andrew Vernon took over for Herrera and threw a ball to walk Carlson and load the bases. Fennel followed with a two-run single to right and the Chiefs were up 8-3. Pinch-hitter Kramer Robertson hit a solo homer with one out in the ninth inning to account for the final Peoria run. Wisconsin designated hitter Keston Hiura had a pair of hard hit line drives to the outfield, but went 0-for-4 in the game. His 12-game hitting streak with the Timber Rattlers ended on Tuesday. Hiura, who had reached base in each of his first 27 games as a professional, also saw that streak come to an end. The Timber Rattlers return to Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium to begin a seven-game homestand. Game one is against the Clinton LumberKings on Wednesday night. Drake Owenby (0-0, 2.38) is the scheduled starting pitcher for Wisconsin. The LumberKings have named Steven Ridings (0-1, 9.95) as their starter. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM. *** VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS via the Chiefs Doesn't include Ronnie Gideon's home run, but does include his double (Gideon shouldn't be attempting to stretch into triples, as you'll see) *** Wisconsin Box Score RHP Carlos Herrera likely hit a "within inning" pitch count to be lifted mid-batter as described above. 39 pitches, 17 strikes in an inning and two-thirds. Demi Orimoloye reached three times, and now has four multi-hit games in his last five. Wisconsin Game Log

Final: Las Vegas 3, Colorado Springs 0 Sky Sox Shut Out In Silver State Defense turns four double plays as Sox head to Salt Lake By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox *** Colorado Springs Box Score Hopefully what played in Vegas, stayed in Vegas, because losing three of four happened in a lackluster fashion, including two 3-0 defeats. RHP Michael Blazek allowed nine baserunners and three runs in four innings, but no home runs (zing). Four scoreless from the four relievers. Colorado Springs Game Log

He's been sick. He tried to go again last night, but was still under the weather. From the Biloxi game summary linked above: Luis Ortiz was scratched from a start due to sickness for the second time in three days, so Hiram Burgos (W, 1-0) filled in with a solid outing. The 29-year-old righty struck out seven batters over 5.0 innings, overcoming a first-inning run to pitch shutout ball the rest of the way.

RHP Taylor Williams to the Biloxi DL. Adam McCalvy Tweet: Taylor Williams is hitting the Double-A DL, but word is it's nothing serious and has nothing to do with his arm.

The DSL Rojos have a 17-year-old leadoff hitter named Axel Aleixo That is a fantastic name. Kudos, Mom & Dad.
