VIDEO TWEET: The Jose Gomez walkoff 13th inning single and follow-up celebration

Final: Helena 6, Billings 5, 13 innings Brewers Walk Off in 13 Innings Jose Gomez delivers RBI single to bring Brewers back to .500 By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Fine write-up, be sure to review before dissecting the box score. *** VIDEO: Early game action *** Gomez delivers 13th-inning walk-off for Brewers Troy Shockley, Helena Independent Record Nick Roscetti and Dallas Carroll included in the photo gallery at the link just above; this is a very thorough newspaper recap, we learn about first base coaching exploits, and yes, you read correctly, epicenter 33 miles NW of Helena -- *** Helena Box Score RHP Nelson Hernandez again walks no one and is basically Biloxi's Jorge Ortega (recovering from Tommy John) re-imagined; six H-Crew members with multiple hit games, take a look at the top of the lineup.

Final: Cedar Rapids 7, Wisconsin 6 Late Cedar Rapids Rally Sinks Rattlers Kernels score three runs in eighth to beat Wisconsin By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** Yeah, that one hurt. Chris detailed it very well as always. Wisconsin Box Score That's 15 HR allowed in 62 innings for RHP Jordan Desguin, that's too many cookies. As impressive as he's been at times, RHP Luke Barker has been charged with four blown saves in nine chances. Nice night for the bottom of the order, top, not so much. First rough night for 6th round SS Devin Hairston (Louisville), 0-for-5 with three K's and his first error. *** VIDEO Tweets from the Cedar Rapids feed via @BrewerProspect -- Tucker Neuhaus HR Ronnie Gideon double *** Wisconsin Game Log Wisconsin Top of the 3rd Weston Wilson grounds out, second baseman Joe Cronin to first baseman Lewin Diaz. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers third baseman Weston Wilson ejected by HP umpire Nick Susie. Hmmmm, maybe a helmet throwdown?

(Paat Kelly photo) *** Colorado Springs Box Score RHP Tristan Archer the only Sky Sox pitcher to shine, as he normally does -- it's been a rough 2017 for 2016 Biloxi closer Stephen Kohlscheen. And RHP Tom Wilhelmsen has been rocked in his eight Sky Sox appearances to the tune of a 2.50 WHIP and 17.05 ERA. Colorado Springs Game Log Lewis Brinson, Garrett Cooper and Brett Phillips all reached base thrice.

Shackelford named to AAA All-Star Game

VIDEO TWEETS via @BrewerProspect -- Brett Phillips triple Cody Ponce's 6 K's

Final: Billings 10, Helena 3 Brewers Commit Five Errors in Final Game of Road Trip Helena finishes trip 4-3 after dropping final game 10-3 in Billings By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers *** OK, you've reviewed the summary, but let's first take note that we've received reports that 18-year-old SS Antonio Pinero's defense has been at times jaw-dropping this summer, so let's chalk this up to just a very bad day, only somewhat offset by reaching twice in three plate appearances. The headline above could easily have singled the young man out: FIELDING E: Pinero 5 (7, fielding, fielding, throw, fielding, throw). From the Billings Gazette: "On two separate plays, Pinero bobbled a ground ball and had an errant throw to the second basemen, Franly Mallen, while attempting to rush a double play." Pinero should continue to be an intriguing follow all summer. *** VIDEO: Highlights all fell on the Billings side *** Helena Box Score CF Zach Clark is rocking a .978 OPS - yes, factor in Pioneer League conditions, but nice to see. Helena Game Log

Prospect-laden, just the right mix of the right veterans, great clubhouse atmosphere, and a 54-31 mark. Most fun AAA squad of the Brewers' Link Report era, maybe in the organization's history. Yay for us!
