Final: Missoula 11, Helena 7 Early Lead Disappears Again In Loss Brewers see Osprey come from behind twice in first half finale By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers That's a photo of OF Jay Feliciano from a home game earlier this season at the link above -- listed at 6'2", 215, not a dude you want to mess with... *** Helena Box Score Seven combined HR's in the game; sour outing for RH starter Nelson Hernandez; Payton Henry had all but the single through the 4th inning in a classic "cycle watch", but struck out in his final two at-bats; in his Helena debut, catcher Alexandre Guenette reached base three times and spent the rest of the evening looking for Missoula's French restaurant district.

Final: Las Vegas 3, Colorado Springs 0 Sox Shut Out In Series Opener Woodruff tosses five shutout frames Saturday night By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox An old friend listed in the summary, text is pasted below: The Colorado Springs Sky Sox were shut out in the series opener of the four-game series, falling to the Las Vegas 51s, 3-0, in front of 6,625 at Cashman Field Saturday night. After giving up four runs in his last outing Monday night against the Reno Aces, RHP Brandon Woodruff bounced back in a big way against the 51s, shutting out Las Vegas over five innings while striking out six batters and allowing five hits. The righty shut out a Pacific Coast League opponent for the first time since May 28 at Nashville, and struck out the most batters since striking out nine Dodgers at Oklahoma City June 3. Woodruff received some help from some great defense, including a pair of outfield assists. 51s outfielder Victor Cruzado lined a second-inning double to left field, but Brett Phillips began a 7-6-2 relay to throw out Josh Rodriguez at home plate. Three innings later, right fielder Nate Orf made a diving catch in foul territory and promptly doubled off Gavin Cecchini to end the fifth inning. The Sox (63-41) continue their lone season series with the 51s Sunday night at 9:05 PM Central. RHP Angel Ventura (5-2, 3.83 ERA) looks to build upon his July 25 victory when he faces Las Vegas right-hander Donovan Hand (2-5, 8.05 ERA). *** Colorado Springs Box Score Sky Sox still maintain a healthy 7.5 game lead despite all the Brewers' roster manipulations as of late -- this dedicated Brewers fan made the trip from San Diego to Vegas and was the first to mention LHP Wei-Chung Wang on his way to Milwaukee today, quite the Las Vegas-to-Houston-to-Chicago plane tour. Colorado Springs Game Log Not only is Nate Orf seeing time in right field, he's also your cleanup hitter given all the roster pillaging as of late. And don't get us wrong, we love Nate!

Via the Peoria Journal-Star PHOTOS of the Rattlers, including "fullback" Ronnie Gideon, at the article link above Former Bradley University lefty Cameron Roegner started for Wisconsin — on Bradley University Night at Dozer Park, and allowed one run over six innings in front of 6,320. Roegner limited the Chiefs to an RBI single in the third inning by rehabbing Cardinal Stephen Piscotty . Later, in the fifth, Roegner struck out the major leaguer with a slider. The former Bradley University pitcher, on Bradley University Night, with school mascot Kaboom! working the grandstand, said “You try to think of (Piscotty) as just another batter up there and you have to get him out. It was an RBI situation and I didn’t want to give him something hard he could drive. So I went with that slider and it worked. That was pretty awesome.” *** Via the Chiefs -- VIDEO: Highlights from the game, including the Rattler's big plays

Final: Wisconsin 4, Peoria 1 The Timber Rattlers are 4.5 games out of a playoff spot in the second half standings. They are now 11-6 on the road this half after this win, just 5-13 at home. Timber Rattlers Top Chiefs to Open Series at Peoria Orimoloye paces the offense with three hits; Roegner allows one run over six innings By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Chris' view from the Peoria booth *** VIDEO TWEET: Final pitch for the win *** Wisconsin Box Score It was only two innings, but RHP Nattino Diplan was in need of a nice effort backing up LHP Cameron Roegner here. Check out the combined pitching line for Wisconsin -- you can allow hits (even four doubles) and win when you don't allow walks. Man, if we could just bottle up the really good Demi. Chris covered everything else wonderfully in the summary as usual. Wisconsin Game Log

The Maryvale men clinch the 1st half crown with a win tonight vs. the Dodgers, but fall to second with a loss to the LA kids. Big game! "Watch here"

Blazek gets three days to report, and my guess is that Scahill is not technically active yet either.

At Colorado Springs -- RHP Forrest Snow reinstated from the disabled list INF Ivan De Jesus placed on the temporary inactive list

July 29th -- Via the Journal-Sentinel's Todd Rosiak within two tweets: Bad news for #Brewers IF prospect Gilbert Lara. Fractured right fibula and dislocated right ankle in first game at Helena on July 20. Lara’s injury occurred on a slide into home plate, and a spike caught in the ground. Surgery next week. Expected to be 100% by next spring.

Biloxi Press Release -- INF Bortnick transferred to Colorado Springs, C Murray activated from DL *** This will A.J. Murray's first official taste of AA action. These moves prompted by Kirk Nieuwenhuis' return to the big league Brewers.

The Brewers have assigned 17-year-old OF Alejandro Marte and assigned the 6'2, 180 lb. Dominican native and RH bat to their full (non co-op) DSL Brewers squad. The Brewers own transaction page shows they signed Marte on July 2nd, but unlike the official July 2nd international signees (up-to-date list at Baseball America), Marte will make his debut this season, it seems, and his seven-year time clock will begin in 2017, not 2018.

What sweet opportunities Timber Rattlers LHP Cameron Roegner (who has been stellar for over two months now, by the way) has had in 2017. The Beloit native got to pitch in his hometown on May 24th (and did so very well), and tonight the Bradley University product gets to pitch in Peoria, IL, home of the university, in front of a big fireworks-ready crowd, and on a night when the Chiefs are celebrating Bradley athletics. The second-year pro (22nd round, 2016) needs a bump to Carolina soon, partly because he was an older draft pick and just recently turned 24. But a promotion would have been earned, not just a product of placement by age. Have fun tonight, sir.

Final: Tacoma 4, Colorado Springs 3 That's a reasonable Mountain-based score, too bad a loss, but a series win -- Sox Fall Late Phillips records two hits in first Triple-A game since July 9 By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Brief text, so here you go: The Colorado Springs Sky Sox used a seventh-inning rally to tie the game, but a 10th-inning solo home run from Gordon Beckham gave the Tacoma Rainiers a 5-4 win in 10 innings in front of 5,367 at Security Service Field Friday night. Colorado Springs (63-40) scored their first run of the game in the fourth inning on some heads-up hustle from Brett Phillips. With two outs, Chris Colabello grounded an infield single to Tacoma third baseman Danny Muno. With Phillips rounding third, Muno's throw home bounced into the Sky Sox dugout, cutting the deficit to 2-1. The hosts came alive offensively in the seventh inning, scoring two runs to tie the game at three. Andrew Susac hit a towering solo shot to the light pole in left field for his eighth home run of the season. After a two-out Kyle Wren triple, Mauricio Dubon grounded a RBI single up the middle to extend his hitting streak to four games. The Sox head back on the road for eight games over a nine-day stretch against the PCL Pacific Southern Division. Saturday night begins 2017's lone four-game series at Cashman Field against the Las Vegas 51s, Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets. RHP Brandon Woodruff (6-5, 4.79 ERA) looks to bounce back against Las Vegas RHP Jonathan Albaladejo (0-0, 0.00). Colorado Springs Box Score Kyle Wren now 22-for-26 in SB attempts, Brewers still "own" him for two more years, he's pretty much trapped/blocked unless Rule 5 comes to his rescue. He probably didn't think the trade from his dad's former Braves organization would lead to such a situation. Colorado Springs Game Log

Final: Wisconsin 6, Burlington 0 Rattlers Beat Bees with Another Shutout Jankins and Owenby pitch Wisconsin to a win at Burlington By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers VIDEO TWEET: Final out *** Wisconsin Box Score Keeping it simple tonight, you'll find the goodness within... Wisconsin Game Log

The Shuckers' Chris Harris explains that as poorly as Biloxi has played in the 2nd half, they'd still be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Since (1st half winner) Pensacola would also be the 2nd half winner, the team in the division with second best overall record gets in. That's Biloxi.
