VIDEO from Saturday's Helena 11-1 win: Includes the first of three HR's hit by 5'3" Jose Gomez this weekend. Congrats to Jose, and surely he'd like to get to a place in life where every mention of his name isn't prefixed with 5'3". If he reaches the big leagues, he likely won't mind.

Not an official injury, but may be sore today -- this game story from the Missoulian focuses on the Osprey, naturally, but does include other tidbits of note on the tight 6-5 H-Crew loss, including a comebacker to Petersen's leg.

Just watched it. Dubon went up in the count 3-1, then took several steps towards 1st on pitch #5 which Dubon obviously thought was ball four. It wasn't called that way, though. Mauricio circled back behind the umpire and took his stance for the full count offering. He popped it up weakly in very shallow right, and was yelling at the umpire as the ball drifted into the air. Mr. Ump took offense and gave him an early shower.

DSL transaction page introduces us to latest Brewer -- 16-year-old RHP Michele Vassalotti, he'll be 17 in August Signed in early June and activated from the restricted list Saturday 7/1. His MiLB Player Page doesn't list a home town but this image comes from a page that indicates he's from Venezuela. http://www.academiamn.com.ve/images/mn_michellevassalotti.png

Biloxi Press Release -- Rain postpones Shuckers and Barons on Saturday Seventh rain postponement of 2017 to be made up as part of a Sunday doubleheader Other details at the link...

Final: Helena 11, Missoula 1 Whoa, this has been a fun stretch! The Helena Independent Record recaps this road victory for us -- Brewers' win streak now at 6 A week ago, .500 ball seemed a long way off for the Helena Brewers. Now? Thanks in part to a huge night from Jose Gomez, the Brewers are one game above .500 after defeating the Missoula Osprey 11-1 Saturday in Missoula. It was the sixth win in a row for the Brew Crew. The Brewers put up five runs in the fifth inning, beginning with a solo shot home run from Gomez, his first of the season. Dallas Carroll, who finished 1 for 5, followed that up when he singled on a line drive to center field, scoring two more runs. Gabriel Garcia wrapped up the inning’s scoring when he hit his second homer of the season, plating two more runs. Garcia finished 2 for 3 at the plate, walking twice. Missoula mustered only run in the bottom of the fifth. Andy Yerzy hit a grounder that bought enough time for Keshawn Lynch to score. The Brewers' offense kept chugging along in the sixth and seventh innings. Shortstop Antonio Pinero hit a sacrifice fly to bring in the Brewers sixth run in the sixth inning. Pinero went 2 for 4. Nick Roscetti followed that up after a throwing error gave him plenty of room to run. NOTE: Timeout. You read that and immediately have to visit the game log. We learn of a Zach Clark triple that set up the Pinero sac fly, and then, apparently, a true four-base error, really? Helena Top of the 6th Pitching Change: Jeff Bain replaces Kai-Wei Lin. Zach Clark triples (1) on a sharp line drive to right fielder Juan Araujo. Jose Gomez grounds out, shortstop Ryan Grotjohn to first baseman Francis Martinez. Antonio Pinero out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Eduardo Diaz. Zach Clark scores. Nick Roscetti reaches on a throwing error by third baseman Joey Rose. Nick Roscetti scores. Chad McClanahan singles on a soft ground ball to right fielder Juan Araujo. Dallas Carroll strikes out swinging. Wow, that may be a Link Report first. Back to the game summary. Gomez capped the scoring in the top of the seventh inning when he blasted a grand slam over the left center field wall. He finished the evening 3 for 5 with 5 RBIs. Nelson Hernandez (2-0) made his third start on the mound and had another good outing. The 6-foot-2 righty threw five innings and gave up seven hits, but allowed only one earned run while walking one and striking out another. The Brewers used three from the bullpen in relief, and the squad combined to give up two hits through four innings of work. Helena outhit Missoula 13 to 9. The Osprey had some self-inflicted damage with three errors, while the Brewers played a clean game. Missoula left 10 men on base, while the Brewers stranded eight. After starting the season looking for consistent hitting and pitching, the Brewers are looking like a force to be reckoned with in the Pioneer League. They'll try to extend the winning streak on Sunday, when they resume their three-game series against Missoula. The first pitch scheduled for 5:05 PM (6:05 Central). Helena Box Score This is your reminder that 23-year-old Cuban-born OF and 39th round 2016 draft pick Jose Gomez is listed at 5'3", 184. Congratulations, as these were the first two home runs of his pro career. Catcher Brent Diaz has been impressive in his three games played. Still have no idea how he fell to the 29th round. Helena Game Log Might not have predicted this rout after this wasted opportunity in the 2nd -- Helena Top of the 2nd Brent Diaz walks. Gabriel Garcia walks. Brent Diaz to 2nd. Jay Feliciano singles on a sharp line drive to center fielder Eduardo Diaz. Brent Diaz to 3rd. Gabriel Garcia to 2nd. Zach Clark called out on strikes. Jose Gomez pops out sharply to first baseman Francis Martinez. Antonio Pinero strikes out on a foul tip.

Final: Wisconsin 4, Beloit 2 Rattlers Beat Beloit Gideon's homer puts Wisconsin in front; Trio of hurlers hold the lead to the end By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers As Chris notes in the linked game summary, the Rattlers are now 5-5 in the 2nd half. It'd be nice for these young men to experience a second half playoff chase. Wisconsin Box Score Wisconsin only earned their way on five times via three hits and two walks, nice that the pitching trio Chris highlighted performed so well, combining to walk only one themselves. That also accounts for this: T: 2:18. "T" being "Tidy". Yes, RHP Luke Barker is 25, but this is his first stint in affiliated ball. The split-finger specialist has rebounded from an early May mini-slump to dominate since, check out the numbers at his linked name. Wisconsin Game Log Realize how lucky we are when the T-Rats are at home, to always get the archived video. Instead, picture this: Wisconsin Top of the 4th Weston Wilson grounds out, second baseman J. C. Rodriguez to first baseman Miguel Mercedes. Tucker Neuhaus reaches on a throwing error by shortstop Eric Marinez. Ronnie Gideon homers (8) on a fly ball to left center field. Tucker Neuhaus scores. Chris painted the picture for you in his recap. "In the top of the fourth, Tucker Neuhaus reached on an error with one out. Then, Gideon blasted the next pitch over the scoreboard in left-center for a two-run home run and the Rattlers were back in front 4-2. The homer was the eighth of the season for Gideon."
