Final: Dayton 6, Wisconsin 4 Rattlers Fall 6-4 to Dayton in Ten Innings Wisconsin rallies for late lead, but cannot hold on for the win By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Blog: "Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner discuss the Rattlers 6-4, ten-inning loss to Dayton on Saturday afternoon. Matt Erickson and Ronnie Gideon provide comments from the clubhouse." *** Wisconsin Box Score We figured RHP Luke Barker, the 25-year-old indy ball signee, would be a candidate for early promotion, but he has struggled in four of nine outings...

Final: Colorado Springs 19, Fresno 7 Sky Sox Roll In 19-7 Slugfest Colorado Springs off to best 25-game start in team history By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox *** Colorado Springs Box Score Kidding (kind of), Fresno allowed nine runs in the 4th to fall into an 18-1 hole just before the rains came, delaying right into a nearly two-hour wait that almost wiped out the not-yet-official game -- brilliant strategy! How do you focus on pitching in amid a 19-run outburst? Because Paolo Espino and Tim Dillard are exactly the kind of pitchers who can excel in the Springs, and I'm now convinced Dillard may be up to Milwaukee sooner rather than later. Enjoy their lines in the box score link above. Colorado Springs Game Log 3-4-4-3-4-4-3-2-3 That's the number of times the nine men in the lineup reached base. Wow, enjoy!
